When a VPLEX distributed device is selected during the RecoverPoint Consistency Group Creation

wizard, the option to create a MetroPoint Consistency Group becomes available. This is because

MetroPoint is a feature that leverages VPLEX distributed devices for enhanced data protection and

disaster recovery capabilities. The steps involved in this process typically include:

Selecting the VPLEX distributed device: During the creation of a Consistency Group, you choose the

VPLEX distributed device as the source of replication.

MetroPoint option appears: Once a VPLEX distributed device is selected, the wizard presents the

option to create a MetroPoint Consistency Group.

Configuring the MetroPoint Consistency Group: If you choose to create a MetroPoint Consistency

Group, you will then configure the necessary settings, such as replication mode and RPO (Recovery

Point Objective).

Finalizing the setup: After configuring the settings, you finalize the creation of the Consistency Group,

which now has the enhanced capabilities provided by the MetroPoint feature1.

MetroPoint Consistency Groups are designed to provide continuous data protection and availability

across multiple sites, combining the benefits of VPLEX Metro with the third-site replication provided

by RecoverPoint1.
