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
-
