About distributing disk configurations
Replication Manager supports the distribution of disk configuration definition files to alternate hosts.
This capability enables uninterrupted pair management in the event of disaster at the primary site.
During mainframe volume discovery, you can select mainframe hosts/prefixes from a list of alternative
host candidates. Upon completion of the volume discovery, Replication Manager distributes the disk
configuration definition file to these distribution targets.
