When a device group that is controlled by the Availability Suite feature is added to a protection group, the Geographic Edition software creates a special replication resource for that device group in the replication resource group. By monitoring these replication resource groups, the Geographic Edition software monitors the overall status of replication. One replication resource group with one replication resource is created for each protection group.
The name of the replication resource group has the following format:
AVS-protection-group-rep-rg
The replication resource in the replication resource group monitors the replication status of the device group on the local cluster, which is reported by the Availability Suite remote mirror feature.
The name of a replication resource has the following format:
AVS-device-group-rep-rs
