2. In the Storage pane, select the Storage Center that hosts the volume you want to replicate.
3. Click the Storage tab.
4. In the Storage tab navigation tree, select the volume you want to replicate.
5. In the right pane, click Replicate Volume.
● If one or more QoS definitions exist, the Create Replication wizard appears.
● If a QoS definition has not been created, the Create Replication QoS wizard appears. Use this wizard to create a QoS
definition before you configure replication.
NOTE: If the volume is a replication destination, Replication QoS settings are enforced. If the volume is a Live Volume
secondary, the Replication QoS settings are not enforced.

● The wizard advances to the next page.
● If iSCSI connectivity is not configured between the local and remote storage system, a dialog box appears. Click Yes to
configure iSCSI connectivity between the storage systems.
7. (Optional) Modify replication default settings.
● In the Replication Attributes area, configure options that determine how replication behaves.
● In the Destination Volume Attributes area, configure storage options for the destination volume.
8. Click Finish. The volume begins to replicate to the remote storage system.
Managing Replication Schedules
Replication schedules set when replications from a PS Series group run on a daily, hourly, or one-time basis. They also determine
the number of snapshots the destination storage system retains for the replication.
Create an Hourly Replication Schedule
An hourly replication schedule determines how often a PS Series group replicates data to the destination volume at a set time or
interval each day.
Steps
1. Click the Storage view.
2. In the Storage pane, select a PS Series group.
3. Click the Storage tab.
4. From the Storage tab navigation pane, select a volume.
The volume must be the source of a replication relationship.
5. Click Create Schedule.
The Create Schedule dialog box opens.
6. Click the Enable Schedule checkbox.

11. To enable an end date for the schedule, select the checkbox next to End Date then select a date from the End Date
drop-down menu.
