Initialize a replication relationship between source and target volumes to transfer the snapshot and all data blocks in NetApp Workload Factory.
Initialization performs a baseline transfer: it makes a snapshot of the source volume, then transfers the snapshot and all the data blocks it references to the target volume.
Consider when you choose to complete this operation. Initialization can be time-consuming. You might want to run the baseline transfer in off-peak hours.
