Dell PowerVault ME5 Series Administrator's Guide

Add data protection

Choosing Add Data Protection opens the Data Protection Configuration wizard where you are led through the process of adding data protection to a selected volume by either creating local snapshots or creating a remote replication set.

The options that display in the wizard are dependent upon how the wizard is accessed:

  • Provisioning > Volumes > menu list > Add Data Protection
  • Provisioning > Volumes > Data Protection > Add Data Protection
  • Provisioning > Volumes > slide-over > Snapshots
  • Provisioning > Volumes > slide-over > Replications—Follow the on-screen directions to complete the action.
NOTE: When creating a remote replication or local snapshots, you will be prompted to set a schedule. This is the only place where you can set either a replication or snapshot schedule using the PowerVault Manager. If you do not set a schedule when prompted, you will be unable to do so using the PowerVault Manager after the replication set or snapshot is created. For information about creating a schedule using the create schedule CLI command, see the CLI Reference Guide.
