# Inline Replication for the HPE 3PAR StoreServ / Primera / HPE Alletra 9000 Series / HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 Storage Array

The HPE Alletra Storage MP / Primera / HPE Alletra 9000 Series / HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 inline replication feature creates a replica copy of the primary snapshot copy of the local array on a remote array.

When you run a snap backup operation, the snapshot is created on the local array and on the remote array.

## Storage Arrays

You can use the replication feature with the following storage arrays:

- HPE Primera

- HPE Alletra Storage MP

- HPE Alletra 9000 Series

- HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000

## Key Features

The key features of the HPE Alletra Storage MP / Primera / HPE Alletra 9000 Series / HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 inline replication feature are as follows:

- The primary copy and the replica copy are independent of each other and can have separate retention policies.

- The primary snapshot and the replica copy are application-consistent.

- The snapshot replication is performed only if the subclient on which you run the snapshot operation is associated with the replica copy.

- You can replicate snapshots between HPE Primera and HPE Alletra 9000 Series and vice-versa.

- You can replicate snapshots between HPE Primera and HPE Alletra Storage MP and vice-versa.

- You can replicate snapshots between HPE Primera and HPE Alletra Storage MP B10000 and vice-versa.

## Considerations

- You cannot perform revert operations on the primary snapshot or on the replica snapshot.

- You can perform synchronous replication.
