User Manual

4.

The QReplica uses standard iSCSI protocol for data replication. User has to log on the
iSCSI node to create the iSCSI connection for the data transmission. Enter the CHAP
information if necessary and select the target node to log no. Click “Next” to
continue.

5.

Choose the backup VD and click “Next”.
