Applying Replay Profiles
Applying Replay Profiles
Replays create space-efficient point-in-time copies (PITC) to provide immediate recovery
from data loss. Storage Center Replays differ from the traditional PITCs because blocks of
data or pages are frozen and not copied. No user data is moved, making the process
efficient in both time taken to complete the Replay, and space used by Replays. Two default
Replay Profiles are part of every Storage Center system. For information on creating
Replays, refer to
Data Instant Replay on page 283 .
To view a list of Replay profiles on a system, select Replay Profiles. A list of Replay profiles
appears. The list includes the name, the type, and by whom the Profile was created.
Note In general, Replay Profiles are created by a user, such as Admin or your user name.
Two exceptions are Replay Profiles created by the System, and Replay Profiles
created by the System Root User. Replay Profiles created by the System are the two
default Replay Profiles that are part of every system. Replay Profiles created by the
System Root User are Replay Templates created in System Manager Versions 4.0
or below. The prior templates were updated to current Replay Profiles during a
system upgrade. Unlike Replay Templates, a change to a Replay Profile affects all
the Replays of all volumes to which that Profile is attached.
