Cross-Platform Replication Requirements
Storage Centers and PS Groups must meet the following minimum requirements to allow replication between Storage Center and PS
Group.

another Storage Manager administrator.
To map the previously added PS Group to an Storage Manager account, the Storage Manager administrator must use the PS Groups
subtab under the Users & System tab in the Data Collector view of Unisphere Central.
