Folks,

We are using timefinder mirror BCV with Replication manager to replicate copies of production host on symmetrix array. The production LUN is an R1 LUN. There are 3 BCV copies of this R1 production LUN maintained by replication manager. Each BCV copy is presented to a host.  I need to add storage to host, so i created new R1 LUNs and presented to host. Now i need to create 3 BCV copies of this R1 LUN and add it to replication manager.

i) What is the procedure to do this via Replication manager GUI?.

ii) After creating the 3 BCVs, do i need to first present the BCVs to hosts and then add them in replication manager or first add BCVs in replication manager and then present to hosts?. I heard there is some locking mechanism and one of the above order must be followed. 

iii) should i sync and split the bcv before adding to replication manager?. If yes, at what step in step ii should i do this?

Thank you for your help.
