Dell PowerVault MD 32XX/36XX Series Storage Arrays CLI Guide

Before you create a replication relationship, you must enable the Remote Replication (legacy) premium feature on both the primary storage array and the secondary storage array. You must also create a secondary virtual disk on the secondary site if one does not already exist. The secondary virtual disk must be a standard virtual disk of equal or greater capacity than the associated primary virtual disk.

When secondary virtual disks are available, you can establish a replication relationship in the MD storage management software by identifying the primary virtual disk and the storage array that contains the secondary virtual disk.

When you first create the replication relationship, a full synchronization automatically occurs, with data from the primary virtual disk copied in its entirety to the secondary virtual disk.
