You can create and manage copy relationships between source and target volume pairs or source volume groups, and target pools through a replication session.
You must create and save a replication session using the Replication Manager Create session wizard before you can use the session to perform copy tasks.
During the creation of a replication session, you can select source and target volume pairs or volume groups, then establish a continuous, synchronous, remote copy or a point-in-time copy relationship between them.
When you select an existing replication session in the Sessions panel, you can perform the following tasks for that session:
![]() | Note: The copy task is limited to the copy type you selected when you created the session. |
![]() | Note: An additional point-in-time copy overwrites the data in the previous copy and the previous copy is lost. |
A consistent copy is maintained between the source and the target because any copy actions that started before copying was suspended are allowed to complete.
The copy might not be consistent between the source and the target because any copy actions that started before copying was suspended are not allowed to complete.
