It's not DFS; we haven't implemented that yet. It's on the list, but we need to get more storage. Right now, only 2 of 5 file servers are on the SAN. The other 3 use local disks. Once we have enough storage, we want to set up DFS. This DR test is concentrating solely on those 2 file servers (well, they are actually cluster resources, but you get the idea).
