You cannot change a protection policy to use a different replication rule with a different remote system. To change a protection policy with a replication rule using a different remote system, remove the old policy before assigning a new one. NOTE: Changing a remote system requires a full synchronization. If you want to create a new replication rule in addition to the existing rules, it is recommended to review the parameters and your business requirements with an administrator before proceeding. This can help in achieving and maintaining consistent policies across the system. Create a replication rule Steps 1. Select Protection > Protection Policies. 2. In the Protection Policies window, click Replication Rules on the Protection bar . 3. In the Replication Rules window, click Create. 4. In the Create Replication Rule slide-out panel, enter a name for the new rule. 5. Set the following: ● Select an existing replication destination or configure a new destination. ● Set the RPO. ● Set the alert threshold. 6. Click Create. Recovery point objective Recovery point objective (RPO) indicates the acceptable amount of data, measured in units of time, that may be lost in case a failure occurs. When you set up a replication rule, you can configure automatic synchronization based on the RPO. Possible RPO values range from 5 minutes to 24 hours. The default RPO value is one hour. NOTE: A smaller RPO interval provides more protection and consumes less space. However, it has a higher performance impact, resulting in more network traffic. A higher RPO interval may result in more space consumption, which can affect snapshot schedules and space thresholds. Alert threshold When you configure a replication rule, you can specify an alert threshold, which is the amount of time the system will wait before generating a compliance alert when a replication session does not meet the RPO. Setting the alert threshold to zero means that alerts will be generated if the actual synchronization time exceeds the RPO. Create a protection policy About this task Create a protection policy to provide local and/or remote protection for your storage resources. Each protection policy can include one replication rule and up to four snapshot rules. A rule can be in multiple policies. Steps 1. Select Protection > Protection Policies. 2. In the Protection Policies window, click Create. 3. In the Create Protection Policy slide-out panel, enter a name for the new policy. 4. Select the snapshot rules that you want to include in the policy or create a new snapshot rule (see Create Snapshot Rules). 5. Select the replication rules that you want to include in the policy or create a new replication rule (see Create Replication Rules). 6. Click Create. 16 Protection Policies

You cannot change a protection policy to use a different replication rule with a different remote system. To change a protection
policy with a replication rule using a different remote system, remove the old policy before assigning a new one.

Changing a remote system requires a full synchronization.
If you want to create a new replication rule in addition to the existing rules, it is recommended to review the parameters

Recovery point objective
Recovery point objective (RPO) indicates the acceptable amount of data, measured in units of time, that may be lost in case a
failure occurs. When you set up a replication rule, you can configure automatic synchronization based on the RPO. Possible RPO
values range from 5 minutes to 24 hours. The default RPO value is one hour.
NOTE:
A smaller RPO interval provides more protection and consumes less space. However, it has a higher performance
impact, resulting in more network traffic. A higher RPO interval may result in more space consumption, which can affect
snapshot schedules and space thresholds.
Alert threshold
When you configure a replication rule, you can specify an alert threshold, which is the amount of time the system will wait
before generating a compliance alert when a replication session does not meet the RPO. Setting the alert threshold to zero
means that alerts will be generated if the actual synchronization time exceeds the RPO.
