From the Protection/Volume Relationships page, you can perform a first-time baseline transfer on a new protection relationship, or update a relationship if it is already initialized and you want to perform a manual, unscheduled incremental update to transfer immediately.
Before you begin
-
You must have the OnCommand Administrator or Storage Administrator role.
-
You must have set up OnCommand Workflow Automation.
