Configuring, Creating, and Recovering Replays

The Dell Storage vSphere Web Client Plugin allows you to configure Data Instant Replay, create Replays,

expire Replays, and recover data from Replays.

NOTE: The options that appear when configuring, creating, and recovering Replays change

depending on the volume preferences of the Enterprise Manager user defined in the vSphere Web

Client Plugin.

NOTE: Replays apply only to volumes that are mounted as VMFS datastores and not to NFS

datastores.

The following sections describe how to configure and manage Replays:

• Configuring Data Instant Replay

• Creating a Replay

• Expiring a Replay

• Recovering Data From a Replay

Configuring Data Instant Replay

Configuring Data Instant Replay means assigning a Replay Profile to a datastore (Dell volume) or all

volumes associated with a virtual machine to establish a schedule for automatically taking

Replays.

Only Replay Profiles already defined on the Storage Center are available for selection. For instructions on

creating or modifying Replay Profiles, see either the Storage Center System Manager Administrator’s

Guide or the Dell Storage Manager Administrator’s Guide.
