NOTE: Be aware that the storage capacity of the target DR Series system is directly affected by the number ofsource systems writing to its containers, and also by the amount being written by each of these source systems.Creating Replication RelationshipsTo create a new replication relationship, complete the following:1. Select Storage → Replication.The Replication page is displayed, which lists all current replication entries by the following categories:– Local Container Name– Role (target or source)– Remote Container Name– Peer State (online or offline)– Bandwidth (replication bandwidth limit)NOTE: Bandwidth is the replication bandwidth limit that you can set as Kibibytes per second (KiBps),Mebibytes per second (MiBps), Gibibytes per second (GiBps), or as an unlimited bandwidth (default).2. Click Create in the options bar.The Create Replication page is displayed.3. In Step 1: Select a local container, select a local container from the list of available containers.4. In Step 2: Select Encryption, select one of the following encryption options: None, 128–bit, or 256–bit.5. In Step 3: Select a role, select Source or Target.6. In Step 4: Remote container settings, select one of these two options:– Create container on remote system. If you select this option, see Creating a Container on a Remote System(Replication), which describes the process of creating a container on a remote system.– Map to container on remote system. If you select this option, see Mapping to a Container on a Remote System(Replication), which describes the process of mapping to a container on a remote system.7. Enter the required information in the Step 4: Username, Password, Peer System, and Peer Container Name fields.For more information, see Creating a Container on a Remote System (Replication) or Mapping to a Container on aRemote System (Replication), depending upon your selected option.8. Click Create Replication (or click Cancel to display the Replication page).The Successfully added replication dialog is displayed when successful.Creating a Container on a Remote System (Replication)This topic describes the process for creating a replication relationship with a container on a remote system using theReplication page. For more information, see Creating Replication Relationships. The following procedure assumes youhave completed the Step 1, Step 2, and Step 3 tasks for creating replication relationships, and you are selecting theCreate container on a remote system option in Step: 4 Remote container settings.To create a replication relationship with a container on a remote system, complete the following tasks:NOTE: Exercise care when configuring the direction of replication for source and target containers. For example,target containers can have their contents deleted if they contain existing data.1. In Username, type a valid user name for the peer system (for example, administrator).2. In Password, type a valid password for the peer system (for example, St0r@ge!).3. In Peer System, type the IP address that represents this peer system (for example, 10.10.10.10).4. In Peer Container Name, type a name for the new container (for example, StorageReplica2), or choose from anexisting container on the peer system.93
