Paul, the best practices can be found in solution http://support.emc.com/kb/11310 The calculations for determining DSE pool size is contained within the solution.
You will need to create a similar DSE pool in the DR site.
Please ensure that the DSE pool is spread across as many disks as possible. I had a customer whose entire DSE pool was RAID-5 and on the same 4 physcial devices and that caused major issues until it was corrected.
The point Mike raised should be considered in your DSE Pool design so try (whenever possible) to make the DSE pool of small hypers configured as RAID-1. The size of the DSE pool should be about the size of usable Symmetrix cache or x2 usable cache size.
Paul, In case you have not received the article yet, send me an email and i will reply back with the article attached. Please make sure that you open a case with EMC Support to fix the issue you have with EMC KB articles access.
