29 Using Dell PS Series Asynchronous Replication | TR1052
5. In the Replica Set Placement tab (PS Series firmware v8 and later), you can optionally configure a
mapping between primary Pools and secondary Pools for initial replica set placement (Figure 1).
If a pool mapping is not manually configured here, the system will automatically choose a pool for
replica set placement when creating a replica set, based on available delegated space in the pools.
Note: This pool mapping is only consulted when creating a new replica set, or enabling volume
replication on the primary group. When pool mapping changes are made, existing replica sets on the
secondary group are not automatically moved, and will continue to reside in their same pool.
To check if the primary pool names are still valid, and to help ensure the desired mapping will
succeed, click Validate primary pool names. The status of this validation will appear in the
Validation column.
