Configuring the Dell PowerStore Snapshot Replication Feature

To configure the Dell PowerStore snapshot replication feature, on the Dell PowerStore array, 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 backup plan and snapshot copies, make subclient associations, and then add both the local array and the remote arrays in Arrays page.

Procedure

1. Set up the replication between the local array and the remote array. Follow the Dell PowerStore documentation for details on configuring the replication between two 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 Dell PowerStore Replication Feature.

3. Create a backup plan that contains a snapshot primary copy. See Creating a Backup Plan and a Snapshot Primary Copy.

4. Create the replica copy. See Creating a Replica Copy.

5. Add a local storage array. See Configuring the Dell PowerStore Array Using Arrays Page.

6. Add a remote storage array. See Configuring the Dell PowerStore Array Using Arrays Page.
