If your BlackPearl system does not have a tape library, continue with
below.
Note:
If the BlackPearl system is configured to transfer data to tape, make sure the
partitions configured for use by the BlackPearl system do not contain WORM
(Write Once-Read Many) media. The BlackPearl system is not compatible with
WORM media.

Replication targets allow you to configure the BlackPearl system to automatically replicate
data to another BlackPearl system, or to the Azure or Amazon S3 clouds.
If your BlackPearl system does not include the feature to replicate data to cloud targets,
continue with
Create a Storage Domain on page 118
Note:
The instructions below describe configuring a target system that is later associated
with a data policy. For instructions on creating NAS replication, see
NAS Replication Service on page 237
Create a BlackPearl Target
Configuring a BlackPearl target allows a data policy on one BlackPearl system to replicate
data to a second system. If data is sent to a data policy that is not configured for replication,
the data is not replicated to the target system.
With replication enabled, as soon as data is PUT to the cache of the source system it begins
replicating to the target system. Storing multiple copies of the same data on a different
BlackPearl systems provides enhanced data security and disaster recovery if the source
system fails. When you delete data from the source system, you can optionally specify to
have the data deleted from the target system as well.
