Configuring the Active/Active Asynchronous Replication Feature for the Pure Storage Storage Array

For you to use the Active/Active Asynchronous replication configuration, you must perform various configurations in the Commvault software.

Procedure

1. Log on to the CommCell Console.

2. Add the three arrays in the Active/Active Asynchronous replication configuration.

   For instructions, see Setting Up the Pure Storage Array.

3. To turn POD tracking on for the arrays in ActiveCluster configuration, clear the Do not track Pod volume secondary snapshots snapshot configuration property for both the arrays.

   For instructions, see Editing the Properties of the Pure Storage FlashArray Array.

4. Associate both the source arrays in the POD with an array access node. For instructions, see Configuring Array Access Nodes for a Storage Array.

   Note

   The array access node must be able to communicate with the source and replication target arrays using REST API.

5. To create a snapshot primary copy of the snapshots on both the arrays in ActiveCluster configuration, create a backup plan and a snapshot copy on that backup plan.

6. To create the replication relationship between arrays in the ActiveCluster configuration and the replication target array. You must create a replica copy and add mapping between the source and target arrays with the subclient.

   For instructions, see Create a replica copy for the snapshot primary copy.
