Configuring Storage Foundation replications

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
In Management Server console, you can configure and set up replication by creating a primary and then adding a secondary.
This operation can be launched from the context of databases or disk groups.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.

  3. In the Configure replication - Create primary wizard panel, enter the options to create the primary. Click Create primary.
