Summary of needed allocation for the secondary group:
 East pool delegated space: 841.01 GB
 West pool delegated space: 841.01 GB
 Total: 1682.02 GB or 1.64 TB

7.5.3 Initial replication and subsequent replication cycles
As a simple demonstration, first the repl-vol1 volume with 399.90 GB in-use space will be replicated to the
SecondaryGroup.

The system will decide which pool to use for total replication reserve. The default policy is to let the system
decide which pool the volume will replicate to on the secondary. For this case, the East pool was used for
delegated space for the repl-vol1 volume.
Once the initial replication is complete, the delegated space on the SecondaryGroup will indicate near 50
percent reserved.
