Dell PowerStore Protecting Your Data

Create a virtual volume replication session

About this task

For information about the required configuration on vSphere, see VMware SRM user documentation.

Steps

  1. On PowerStore, create a replication rule.
    The replication rule is exposed to vCenter as a Replication capability.
  2. On vSphere, create a policy using the exposed rule.
    A read-only copy of the protection policy, with an identical name, is added to PowerStore (visible on the Protection Policies table and marked with a lock icon.
    NOTE:You can also add snapshot rules to enable local protection.
    NOTE:It is not possible to create, modify, or delete a read-only protection policy, and to assign or unassign the policy to virtual machines using PowerStore. To perform this action, use Storage Policy update in vSphere.
  3. On vSphere, create a virtual machine, assign a storage policy with a replication rule to it, and associate it with a replication group.

Results

The replication group and replication session are created automatically in PowerStore (visible under Protection > Replication > [replication group session].
