8 Working with Remote Copy

A Remote Copy feature is now available for you to create and manage both Synchronous or
Periodic virtual copies at the RC Group level. In addition, the Remote Copy feature provides a GUI
interface and basic CLI command functionality to register, create, schedule, update and remove
Remote Copy pairings.

Use the Admin tool to register and configure Remote Copy Pairs before launching the vCenter
plug-in feature to create a snapshot of your system.

Ensure the following requirements are satisfied before registering a remote copy pair:

Remote copy configuration already exists on the storage systems. Use the InForm CLI or IMC
GUI to create the remote copy configuration if they do not exists.

Recovery Manager Software for VMware is already installed on the remote host situated in
a remote site.

Establish IP access to the remote host.

NOTE:

Mounting or restoring remote virtual copies is currently not supported by Recovery Manager

Software.
