About replicating volumes (pair management)
Volume replication is used to make copies of critical data for volumes allocated to hosts. You can
make a local copy of a volume in the same storage system, or make a remote copy of a volume in a
different storage system.
Command View AE Suite provides several volume replication solutions based on pair management
requirements and related licensing:
• This section addresses using a basic version of Replication Manager (included with the Device
Manager license) that provides for common pair management tasks (for example, create a pair)
using the Actions menu, Manage Replication.
• To use full Replication Manager functionality from the Tools menu, you must register a Replication
Manager license, and launch Replication Manager with a user account that has Replication
Manager permissions. You can use wizards to visualize complex replication configurations while
defining, editing, viewing, and troubleshooting copy pairs.
For information about setting up Replication Manager, see the:
