Click on Create > and provide the required Name and Size and select “Thin” for allocating the LUNs as with
Thin provisioning. And click Apply

Similarly create all required LUNs in DR site and Create Journal LUNs in both Production and DR site.
At Production site, we can create Journal LUN for of size 10 GB, but in DR site best practice is to create aJournal of size of 10% of the LUN which we need to replicate.
One from Unisphere: Go to Data Protection > Select Recover Point -> We need to login with local admin toUnisphere to work this

Create consistency GroupsName # Provide server name (for one server we can have one group, but free to create more as pre requirement)
1ry RPA: Select RPA based on the load balance (Select alternating RPA for each group or best way to balanceload)
Bandwidth Reduction: Medium
Enable dedupe - yes
Protection - Asyn
RPO - select -> System optimized lag
Resource allocation :
Priority : Normal
Bandwidth Limitation : select limited -> select 500 Mbps
Stretch Cluster /VMware SRM -> None
Advance - no change
Make sure allow data transfer if RPA is failed

Replica Copies Configuration:
Here we have two options : One for Local copy and Another for Remote Copy . Select Remote copy as we needto replicate
Provide Name and other details similar to the Production copy configuration.
Replication Sets : Select LUNs for replicating
Then click Next and Select DE LUN on which we need to replicate the Data
Journals ( Adding / creating Journals )
If we have already created the Journals , select manually select Journal Volumes ( recommended )

Select the Production site Journal ( generally of 10 GB size, always give LUN name correctly while creating toidentify properly )
Select the DR site Journal ( 10% in size of LUN which we need to replicate)
Click next and see the Summary

Once done with the Initial copy the Pair status will become “Active” . Then you can s tart using the DR LUNs ( Willallow you to do Image access )
