Instructions
Before an Asynchronous Replication session can be created, communications need to be established between the replicating systems.
1. Establish communication to create Replication Interfaces on both the source and destination systems.
The interfaces will form the connection for replicating the data between the systems.
2. Create a Replication Connection between the systems. This is done on either the source or the destination. It establishes the management channel for replication.
3. After it is created, the connection should be verified from the peer system.
Communications are now in place for a session to be created for a storage resource.
4. A session can be defined for a storage resource during the resource creation or if the storage resource already exists, it can be selected as a source for replication.
5. Define replication settings - The replication settings are defined which include the replication mode, RPO and the destination.
6. The system will automatically create the destination resource and the Unified Snapshot pairs on both systems.
Then the replication session is established.
