Creating Remote Virtual Copies

How Remote Virtual Copy Works

When you create remote virtual copies, HP 3PAR Recovery Manager uses Remote Copy to send
the virtual copies to the Remote Copy backup server. The Remote Copy backup server is a remote
server, that is the HP 3PAR 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 backup server must be running the same version
of HP 3PAR Recovery Manager.

For more information, see

“Remote Copy for HP 3PAR Recovery Manager” (page 131)
