- From the PowerFlex UI in the figure below, select Protection > RCGs > ADD.
- In the next screen as shown in the figure below, enter the RCG Name, enter the RPO value in seconds or minutes (default is 60 s), select the Source Protection Domain, Target System, Target Protection Domain, and click NEXT.
- Select the volume from the Source column and then select a volume of the same size from the Target column as shown in the figure below. The target volume does not appear in the screen until the source volume is highlighted. Once selected press ADD PAIR and NEXT.Note: A volume of equal size must already be present at the target site. PowerFlex 3 cannot auto provision the volume.
- Review the details shown in the figure below to ensure the correct source and target volume pairs are selected and click ADD AND ACTIVATE. The volumes begin to synchronize. When the Consistency column moves from Partially Consistent (as shown in the figure below) to Consistent, synchronization is complete. Since this is asynchronous replication, the remote volume is write-disabled.
