Replication Manager provides two types of copy services: continuous, synchronous, remote copy and point-in-time copy. These data-copy services maintain consistent copies of data on source volumes that are managed by Multiple Device Manager.
A Replication Manager copy session ensures that data on multiple, related, heterogeneous volumes is kept consistent by managing the volume pairs in the session as a consistent unit.
Replication Manager provides an interface for creating, maintaining, and using volume groups and for scheduling copy tasks. Replication Manager populates the lists of volumes using the Multiple Device Manager interface. You can use Replication Manager to perform the following tasks:
A replication group is a collection of volumes grouped together so that they can be managed concurrently.
You can also perform these tasks using the Replication Manager command-line interface.
