Group Administration Volume replication
12–4
Replication configuration options
A group can have multiple replication partners. However, you can replicate a volume only to one replication
partner at a time. Choose the replication configuration that is right for your environment.
Replication to one partner
One replication partner replicates volumes to another partner. For example, in Figure 12-1, GroupA replicates
Volume1 and Volume2 to GroupB. GroupA is the primary g
roup, and GroupB is the secondary group.

Replication to multiple partners
One replication partner replicates different volumes to different partners. For example, in Figure 12-2, GroupA
replicates Volume1 to GroupC, and GroupA replicates Volume2 to GroupB. GroupA is the primary group, and
GroupB and Gro
upC are secondary groups.
