Determining Candidates For A Remote Replicated Pair

All of the virtual disks and physical disks on the remote storage array might not be available for use as secondary virtual disks. To determine which virtual disks on a remote storage array that you can use as candidates for secondary virtual disks, use the show remoteReplication candidates command. This command returns a list of the virtual disks that you can use when creating a remote replication.
The command takes this form: 
c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89
                                    -c “show remoteReplication candidates primary= \“virtualDiskName\”
                                    remoteStorageArrayName=\“storageArrayName\”;”
where virtualDiskName is the name of the virtual disk that you want to use for the primary virtual disk, and storageArrayName is the remote storage array that contains possible candidates for the secondary virtual disk. Enclose both the virtual disk name and the storage array name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
