• If one or more QoS denitions exist, the Create Replication wizard appears.
• If a QoS denition has not been created, the Create Replication QoS wizard appears. Use this wizard to create a QoS
denition before you congure 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.
6. Select a remote storage system to which you want to replicate the volume, then click Next.
• The wizard advances to the next page.
• If Fibre Channel or iSCSI connectivity is not congured between the local and remote storage system, a dialog box appears.
Click Yes to congure iSCSI connectivity between the storage systems.
7. (Optional) Modify replication default settings.
• In the Replication Attributes area, congure options that determine how replication behaves.
• In the Destination Volume Attributes area, congure storage options for the destination volume.
NOTE: A Fluid Cache volume cannot be the destination of a replication.
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.
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.
7. In the Name eld, type a name for the schedule.
8. From the Frequency drop-down menu, select Hourly Schedule.

• To start the replication at a set time each day, select At specic time, then select a time of day.
• To repeat the replication over a set amount of time, select Repeat Interval, then select how often to start the replication
and the start and end times.
13. From the Replica Settings eld, type the maximum number of replications the schedule can initiate.
Create a Daily Replication Schedule
A daily replication schedule determines how often a PS Series group replicates data to the destination volume at a set time or interval
on specied days.
