Creating Remote Virtual Copies
How Remote Virtual Copy Works
When you create remote virtual copies, Recovery Manager uses HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software
to send virtual copies to the Remote Copy backup server. The Remote Copy backup server is a
remote server, that is the Recovery Manager backup server.
To use remote virtual copy functionality:
•
The HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software license must be installed.
•
Remote Copy volume groups must be configured.
•
Both the Remote Copy primary server and Remote Copy backup server must be running the
same version of Recovery Manager.
For more information, see “Remote Copy for Recovery Manager” (page 90) .

In the node tree pane, right-click the instance or database for which you want to create a
