Creating copy groups
A copy group is created by assigning copy pairs to a pair group. For open systems pair configuration,
copy groups can be created on the 3. Group Management page of the Pair Configuration Wizard.
TIP:
If you need to stop the wizard before the copy pair configuration definition is completed, it can be
temporarily saved as a workflow. For more information, see “
