About DR group resources
The DR Groups content pane displays storage resources for remote replication. See GUI window
Content pane.
The properties of DR groups, and the remote replication actions that you can perform, depend on
the controller software version of the storage systems. See Controller software features - remote
replication.
For overviews of remote replication and licensing, see Remote replication overview and Replication
licenses overview. DR group resources are available only if a storage system is licensed for remote
replication.
