Dell PowerStore Protecting Your Data

When a storage policy that includes a PowerStore replication rule is created on VMware and assigned to a vVol-based VM, a replication session is created on PowerStore for the vVol resources in the same resource group. VMware SRM uses these VMware resource groups to manage the protected VMs in replication groups.

You can monitor the performance of a replication group from PowerStore. Select Protection > Replication and click the session status of a vVol replication session to display the session details (the Resource Type should be Replication Group. Click the Replication Group Performance tab to display performance data for the replication group. You can select to view graphs of the following data:

• Replication Remaining Data
• Replication Bandwidth (Normalized)
• Replication Transfer Time

You can also set the timeline for the displayed data.
