24 Using Dell PS Series Asynchronous Replication | TR1052
4 Replicating a volume
Once replication has been configured for the group (section 3) and desired volumes (section 3.1), you can
create replicas of a volume.
1. In Group Manager, right-click a volume that is already configured for replication (section 3.1) and
select Create replica.
2. Optionally, select Perform manual replication to use external media to transfer the data manually
with the Manual Transfer Utility, rather than transferring automatically over the network.
Manual replication is recommended for large amounts of data that would otherwise be transferred
over slow network connections. For additional information on the Manual Transfer Utility, refer to
the Manual Transfer Utility Version 1.2.3 Installation and User's Guide on eqlsupport.dell.com.
3. Click Yes to create a replica immediately, or click No to skip this step.
