2. SyncType - describes the replication policy supported by this profile. There are three defined types: a. Clone - Creates a point-in-time, independent, copy of the source element. b. Mirror - Creates and maintains a synchronized mirror copy of the source. Writes done to the source element are reflected to the target element. The target element remains dependent on the source element. c. Snapshot - Creates a point-in-time, virtual image of the source element. The target element remains dependent on the source element. Snapshots are commonly known as delta replicas and contain incrementally changed data as well as references (e.g. pointers) to the unchanged source element data. 3. Mode - controls when the write operations are performed. There are 2 defined modes: a. Synchronous - The writer waits until the write operations are committed to both the source and target elements; or to both the source element and a target related entity, such as pointer tables. b. Asynchronous - The writer waits until the write operations are committed to the source elements only. In this mode, there can be a delay before the write operations are committed to the target elements. 4. Locality - specifies the relationship between the source and target element. There are two defined localities: a. Local - indicates the source and target elements are contained in a single managed system. b. Remote - indicates the source and target elements are contained in separate managed systems. In this case, the service must rely on a networking protocol for the copy operations. HP 3PAR SMI-S supports read-only implementation of remote replication. SMI-S terminologies can be mapped to HP terminologies.

- Creates and maintains a synchronized mirror copy of the source. Writes done
to the source element are reflected to the target element. The target element remains

- controls when the write operations are performed. There are 2 defined modes:

- The writer waits until the write operations are committed to both the source

- specifies the relationship between the source and target element. There are two

- indicates the source and target elements are contained in a single managed system.

- indicates the source and target elements are contained in separate managed
