Create a Replication from a Storage Center to a PS Group

Replicating volumes from a Storage Center to a PS Group is similar to replicating volumes from a Storage Center to another Storage Center.

1. Click the Storage view.
2. In the Storage pane, select the Storage Center that hosts the volume you want to replicate.
3. Click the Storage tab.
4. In the Storage tab navigation tree, select the volume you want to replicate.
5. In the right pane, click Replicate Volume.
   • If one or more QoS definitions exist, the Create Replication wizard appears.
   • If a QoS definition has not been created, the Create Replication QoS wizard appears. Use this wizard to create a QoS definition before you configure replication.

   NOTE:If the volume is a replication destination, Replication QoS settings are enforced. If the volume is a Live Volume secondary, the Replication QoS settings are not enforced.
6. Select a remote storage system to which you want to replicate the volume, then click Next.
   • The wizard advances to the next page.
   • If iSCSI connectivity is not configured between the local and remote storage system, a dialog box appears. Click Yes to configure iSCSI connectivity between the storage systems.
7. (Optional) Modify replication default settings.
   • In the Replication Attributes area, configure options that determine how replication behaves.
   • In the Destination Volume Attributes area, configure storage options for the destination volume.
8. Click Finish. The volume begins to replicate to the remote storage system.
