Replication Requirements for VMFS Datastores
To replicate data from one Storage Center to another, ensure that the following requirements are met:
● Storage Center: Both the source and destination Storage Centers must be configured in Dell Storage Manager or Unisphere.
They must be configured for the Dell Storage Manager or Unisphere user credentials that are supplied to the vSphere Client
Plugin.
● QoS Definition: A Quality of Service (QoS) definition must be set up on the source Storage Center for replication. See the
Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide for instructions on creating QoS definitions.
If you are using iSCSI connections for replications:
●
The destination Storage Center must be defined as an iSCSI Remote System on the source Storage Center.
● The source Storage Center must be defined as an iSCSI Remote Connection on the destination Storage Center.
See the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide or Unisphere and Unisphere Central Administrator's Guide for instructions
on configuring iSCSI connections between Storage Centers.
