The Remote Replicas panel shows the replica collections for the volume collection. Expand a replica collection to
see the individual replicas and their status.
Using schedules to create replicas
Schedules enable you to create replicas of a volume or all the volumes in a collection on a regular basis.
Note: Schedules apply only to network replications. Scheduled replications do not run until a
ny in-process manual
transfer replications are complete.
Restriction: Yo
u cannot schedule replicas for a volume template.
Before you set up a replication schedule:
• Configure a partner. See Configuring replication partners on page 1
2-17.
• Make sure the volume or volume collection is configured for replicati
on. See Configuring a volume for
replication on page 1
2-25 and Configuring a volume collection for replication on page 12-26.
To set up a replication schedule, see Scheduling volume operations.

To resume replication for a volume, click Volumes, then expand Volumes, then select the volume name, and then
click
