EXPERT RESPONSE
Use SRDF in asynchronous mode to make the original copy. There is no need to worry about losing data during the initial copy because it's not realistic to use it for DR purposes anyway. (The data cannot be in sync until it is all copied over).
After the DMX is fully populated with Symm data, then you will want to decide between synchronous mode or semi-synchronous mode. I would go conservative first and use synchronous and see if you notice performance degradation in your Windows cluster. If so, switch to async mode. If not, keep it in synchronous mode.
