Add Replication to a Volume Collection
Before you begin
You must have a volume collection to create replicas. You cannot create replicas on demand.
Before you can set up replication, you need to configure replication partners, also known as group partners for snapshot replication, pool partners for synchronous replication, and replication stores on HPE Cloud Volumes (HPE CV). Creating replication partners automatically enables two arrays or an array and HPE CV to replicate volume collections.
If you want to specify synchronous replication as the replication type on a volume collection, you must do that when the volume collection is created. After you designate it as a synchronously-replicated volume collection, the replication type cannot be changed.
Procedure
- Go to .
- On the Volume Collections page, check the checkbox for the volume collection that you want to edit.
- In the action bar, click the pencil icon to edit the volume collection.
- Select the Periodic Snapshot from the Replication Type list.
- Select the replication partner from the Replication Partner list.
- Click Save.
