Select a Dierent QoS Denition for a Replication
Select a dierent QoS denition for a replication to change how the replication uses bandwidth.
1. Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.

Congure a Replication to Write Data to the Lowest Tier at the Destination
The Replicate Storage To Lowest Tier option forces all data written to the destination volume to the lowest storage tier congured
for the volume. By default, this option is enabled for asynchronous replications.
Prerequisite
The replication must be asynchronous. The Replicate Storage To Lowest Tier option is not available for synchronous replications.
Steps
1. Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2. On the Replications tab, select the replication, then click Edit Settings. The Edit Replication Settings dialog box appears.
3. Select the Replicate Storage To Lowest Tier check box.
4. Click OK.
Allow Replicate Storage to Lowest Tier Selection During Initial Replication Conguration
By default, the Replicate Storage To Lowest Tier option is only available when modifying an existing replication. To allow this option
to be congured when replications are being created, modify the Data Collector settings.
1. In the top pane of the Dell Storage Manager Client, click Edit Data Collector Settings. The Edit Data Collector Settings dialog
box appears.
2. Click the Replication Settings tab.
3. Select the Allow Select to Lowest Tier on Replication Create check box.
4. Click OK.
Pause a Replication
Pausing a replication temporarily prevents volume data from being copied to the remote Storage Center. Pausing a synchronous
replication can cause it to become unsynchronized.
1. Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2. In the Replications tab, select the replication, then click Pause. The Pausing Replication dialog box appears.
3. Click OK.
Resume a Paused Replication
Resume a paused replication to allow volume data to be copied to the remote Storage Center.
1. Click the Replications & Live Volumes view.
2. On the Replications tab, select the paused replication, then click Resume. The Resuming Replication dialog box appears.
3. Click OK.
Convert a Replication to a Live Volume
If servers at both the local and remote site need to write to a volume that is currently being replicated, you can convert a replication
to a Live Volume.
Prerequisites
• The Live Volume requirements must be met.
• If the replication is synchronous, the source and destination Storage Centers must be running version 6.5 or later.
