1. Create a consistency group
2. The consistency group stops all remote 
replication sessions.
3. The consistency group protects data 
availability
· Data, log, and change tracking 
information of a database are 
respectively stored on primary LUN01, 
primary LUN02, and primary LUN03.
· Create consistency group 01 in the 
primary storage system and add the 
three remote replication sessions to the 
consistency group.
· During synchronization, remote 
replication session 02 fails due to a fault.
· The consistency group stops remote 
replication sessions 01 and 03 
immediately.
· After the fault is rectified, the consistency 
group resumes synchronization.
· In the event of a disaster, the secondary 
storage system recovers data on the 
primary storage system. Data in the 
primary storage system is available 
immediately after the recovery.

1.4 Impact and Restrictions
This section describes restrictions on the remote replication feature.
Compatibility
When using HyperReplication, ensure that the host operating system, multipathing software,
and the remote storage system are compatible with each other. You can query the
compatibility using the OceanStor Interoperability Navigator.
