3.6 Creating a Remote Replication
Remote replication copies data from a local storage device to a remote storage device for
remote disaster recovery. Remote replication includes synchronous remote replication and
asynchronous remote replication.
3.6.1 Creating a Synchronous Remote Replication (Applicable to
V300R006C00)
Creating a synchronous remote replication includes the following operations: configuring
basic information about the remote replication, selecting a primary resource and a secondary
resource, and setting remote replication properties. You can proceed as prompted.
Prerequisites
l The remote replication license is valid.
l The local and remote storage devices must support remote replication.
l The remote storage device is added already, and secondary resource is created on the
remote device.
l The storage capacities of primary and secondary LUNs are the same.
l The statuses of primary and secondary LUNs are healthy.
l The primary and secondary LUNs have not configured any feature that conflicts with the
remote replication feature.
Procedure
Step 1 Log in to DeviceManager.
Step 2 Choose
Data Protection > Remote Replication.
Step 3 Click Create.
The Create Remote Replication Pair dialog box is displayed.
Step 4 Select the replication mode of the remote replication to Synchronous, and click Next.
Step 5 Select the primary resource and secondary resource to form a remote replication pair.
1. Select a primary resource type from the drop-down list.
Possible values of the primary resource type are LUN, Microsoft Exchange, VMware,
Hyper-V, Oracle and SQL Server.
2. Optional: When Microsoft Exchange, VMware, Hyper-V, Oracle or SQL Server is
