Configuration of the Inline Replication Feature for the Hitachi Vantara Storage Array

To configure the Hitachi Vantara Inline Replication feature, with the Hitachi Vantara software, you need to set up the replication link between the local array and the remote array. With the Commvault software, you create the storage policy for replication, associate the subclients that you want to protect with the replica copy, and then add and configure the arrays in the Commvault software.

Configuration Process for Inline Replication

1. To create the Hitachi Universal Replicator (HUR) or the TrueCopy remote replication, use the Command Control Interface (CCI).

   Tip

   Do not use any other interface to create the replication link between the local array and the remote array.

2. Create a storage policy and a snapshot copy on that storage policy.

3. Create the replica copy.

4. Associate the replica copy to the subclients whose snapshots you want to replicate. See Associating the Replica Copy to Subclients.

5. Add the local storage array in Array Management. See Setting Up the Hitachi Vantara Array Using Array Management.

6. Add the remote storage array in Array Management. See Setting Up the Hitachi Vantara Array Using Array Management.

7. Edit the snapshot configuration properties of the local array.

8. Edit the snapshot configuration properties of the remote array.
