Adding replica sets

You can add a replica set, which is a source LUN and the local and remote copies that are managed by a replication cluster, and perform continuous backup for the source LUN.

You can use the Add Replica Set wizard to create replica sets that contain production, local, and remote copies. The order of the pages and steps vary in the wizard, based on which type or types of copies that you created.

Note: You must have at least one replica link before you can create a replica set.

  2. Click Consistency Groups.

  3. From the Actions pane, click Add Replica Set. The Add Replica Set wizard appears.
