Replication Requirements for VMFS Datastores
To replicate data from one Storage Center to another, make sure that the following requirements are met:
• Storage Center: Both the source and destination Storage Centers must be congured in Storage Manager. They must be congured for
the Storage Manager user credentials supplied to the vSphere Web Client Plugin in Conguring Dell Storage vSphere Web Client Plugin.
• QoS Denition: A Quality of Service (QoS) denition must be set up on the source Storage Center for replication. See the Dell Storage
Manager Administrator’s Guide for instructions on creating QoS denitions.
If you are using iSCSI connections for replications:
• The destination Storage Center must be dened as an iSCSI Remote System on the source Storage Center.
• The source Storage Center must be dened as an iSCSI Remote Connection on the destination Storage Center.
See the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide for instructions on conguring iSCSI connections between Storage Centers.
