After configuring the replication policy and the PowerStore replication partner, you are ready to protect virtual machines. When applying the replication policy to a virtual machine, that virtual machine will be replicated to the target array. Virtual machines deployed on vVOL with replication storage policies, will automatically be protected by SRM.
Note: The Replication session will also be displayed in PowerStore Manager
After configuring virtual machine storage policy and association with a vVOL datastore, you can view the replication session via PowerStore Manager under Protection > Replication > Virtual Volumes.
