in-system replication

logical volumes that are stored and managed as virtual volumes (V-
VOLs).
See also remote replication.
initial copy
An initial copy operation is performed when a copy pair is created. Data
on the primary volume is copied to the secondary volume before any
updates are processed.
intermediate site (I-site)
A site that functions as both a TrueCopy secondary site and a Universal
Replicator primary site in a 3-data-center (3DC) cascading configuration.
