About replicating volumes (pair management)
Volume replication is used to make copies of critical data. 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.
P9000 Command View AE Software uses a light version of Replication Manager which allows you
to perform basic volume replication operations.
To use the complete Replication Manager functionality, you must register a Replication Manager
license and log in to P9000 Command View AE Software with Replication Manager permissions.
