Creating Remote Virtual Copies
How Remote Virtual Copy Works
When you create remote virtual copies, 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 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 Recovery Manager.
For more information, see “Remote Copy for Recovery Manager” (page 110) .
