Create and Manage Replications and Live Volumes
The Dell Storage vSphere Web Client Plugin supports two basic models for migrating data between Storage Centers:
• Replications
• Live Volumes
A replication copies volume data from one Storage Center to another Storage Center to safeguard data. A Live Volume is a replicating
volume that can be mapped and active on a source and destination Storage Center at the same time.
For information about replications and Live Volumes, see the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide.
Use the plugin to add and manage replications and Live Volumes to VMFS datastores and RDMs on Dell storage. You can use the plugin
convert a replication to a Live Volume and vice versa.
The following sections describe the replication and Live Volume operations:
