Table 94 Relevant Properties of RemoteReplicationGroup (continued)
DescriptionValueProperties
This property is only valid when the
group is a target of a copy operation.
TPD_ReplicationService
ReplicationService class contains extrinsic methods for group management as well as replication
management; the latter meant to replace Copy Services methods in StorageConfigurationService.
All extrinsic methods in this class return one of the following status codes:
• 0: (Job) Completed with no error
• 1: Method not supported
• 4: Failed
• 5: Invalid Parameter
• 4096: Method Parameters Checked - Job Started
Replication Services includes methods to create and delete a group, and methods to add elements
or pair of elements to an existing group(s) or to remove elements from a group. It can then utilize
Groups of elements to manage replication activities that include more than one source or target
element in a copy operation.

• ReplicationSettingData: Additional replication settings for the method. This parameter is ignored
and thus should be set to NULL.
Use to create a new replication group. Any required associations (such as HostedCollection) are
created in addition to the instance of the group. Creation of RemoteReplicationGroup is not
supported. Parameters are:
• GroupName: If nameable, represents a user-friendly name for the group being created. This
parameter is mandatory and represents the name of the vv set. This will also become the value
in ElementName property of the resulting ReplicationgGroup instance.
• Members[]: An array of strings containing object references to the volumes to add to the group
-- order is maintained. If NULL, the group will be empty. Duplicates members are not allowed.
• Persistent: If true, the group must persist across Provider reboots (group is not temporary). We
only support persistent group, so the method will return an error if this is set to false.
• DeleteOnEmptyElement: If true and empty groups are allowed, the group will be deleted when
the last element is removed from the group. This can only be false, as deletion of empty vv
set can only be done manually, so the method will return an error if this is set to true.
• DeleteOnUnassociated: If true, the group will be deleted when the group is no longer associated
with another group. This can only be false, as deletion of non-synchronized vv set can only
be done manually, so the method will return an error if this is set to true.
