Configuring the HPE Nimble Storage / Nimble dHCI / HPE Alletra 6000 Series / HPE Alletra 5000 Series Storage Snapshot Replication Feature

To configure the HPE Nimble Storage snapshot replication Feature, on the HPE Nimble Storage software, you need to create the replication relationship between the local and the remote arrays, and set up replication parameters. Then, on the Commvault software, create the storage policies and copies, make subclient associations, and then add both the local array and the remote arrays.

Procedure

1. Set up the replication between the local array and the remote array. Follow the HPE Nimble Storage documentation for details on configuring the replication between two HPE Nimble Storage arrays, and add the remote storage array using the IP address instead of the computer name.

2. Configure the source volumes for replication, see Configuring Volumes for the HPE Nimble Storage Replication Feature.

3. Create a server plan that contains a snapshot primary copy, see Creating a Server Plan and a Snapshot Primary Copy.

4. Create the replica copy, see Creating the Replica Copy.

5. Add the local storage array, see Configuring the HPE Nimble Storage Array.

6. Add the remote storage array, see Configuring the HPE Nimble Storage Array.
