Working with Remote Copies HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software helps you to safeguard against disasters that can occur at one location, by allowing you to keep copies of data on a separate server which can be placed at a remote location. For example, if there were a fire or earthquake at one location, all of the data stored there could be lost unless a backup copy can be recovered from a separate location not affected by the disaster.

C Remote Copy for Recovery Manager for Hyper-V HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software helps you to safeguard against disasters that can occur at one location, by allowing you to keep copies of data on a separate server which can be placed at a remote location. For example, if there were a fire or earthquake at one location, all of the data stored there could be lost unless a backup copy can be recovered from a separate location not affected by the disaster.
Figure 65 Remote Copy Setup Figure 66 Remote Copy Setup with CLX Server Description Recovery Manager Server The RM server can be a standalone or clustered. After synchronization is complete, Recovery Manager creates a virtual copy (snapshot) on the remote system. Hyper-V Server (Agent) Operates on every Hyper-V host. Recovery Manager Remote Server The remote management server for RMH. Connectivity Both the Hyper-V Server and Remote RMH Server must be connected to Remote StoreServ.
Synchronous Long Distance The following table explains the feature of SLD (Synchronous Long Distance): Synchronous Long Distance Recovery Manager leverages the VSS framework to freeze the I/O at the application level and to take point in time snapshots. For SLD remote copy groups, the RVC (Remote Virtual Copy) creation and VC timestamp retention in local and remote RMH servers, depends upon target storeserv selected during RVC creation.
