l For linear replication, in order to replicate an existing volume to another disk group in the primary or
secondary system, follow these steps:
Use RAIDar‘s Wizards > Replication Setup Wizard to prepare to replicate an existing volume to another
disk group in the primary system or secondary system.
Follow the wizard to select the primary volume, replication mode, and secondary volume, and to confirm
your replication settings.
The wizard verifies the communication links between the primary and secondary systems. Once setup is
successfully completed, you can initiate replication from RAIDar or the CLI.
l For descriptions and replication-related events, see the Event Descriptions Reference Guide.
These steps are a general outline of the replication setup. Refer to the following manuals for more
information about replication setup:
l See the QXS Disk Management Utility User Guide V3 for procedures to setup and manage replications.
l See the CLI Reference Guide for replication commands and syntax.
l See the Event Descriptions Reference Guide for replication event reporting.
Caution:Controller module firmware must be compatible on all systems used for replication. For
license information, see the Storage Management Guide.
