After creating a Consistency Group with a local copy, initialization is taking longer than expected. What is a possible reason for this condition?
When initializing a Consistency Group with a local copy in a RecoverPoint environment, several factors can affect the duration of the process. One possible reason for a longer than expected initialization time is slow performing storage on the production array. If the production storage is not able to handle the I/O operations efficiently, it can lead to delays in the initialization process1.
Another factor to consider is the available bandwidth to the RecoverPoint Appliances (RPAs). Limited WAN bandwidth can also cause delays, but since the scenario mentions a local copy, WAN bandwidth is less likely to be the issue unless the RPAs are also handling remote replication1.
Size mismatch between the production and copy volumes or the copy not being attached to the same splitter as production could also be potential issues, but these would typically prevent initialization from proceeding rather than causing a delay1.
For a detailed diagnosis and resolution, it is recommended to review the system's performance metrics and logs, and consult the official Dell RecoverPoint documentation or contact Dell EMC support directly1.
