Problem:

I created iSCSI volume on my DSS server and I didn’t chose the "replication" option when creating the volumes. Now, I want to replicate those volumes to a destination server, but the replication document on the site show the procedure for newly created volumes only. (www.open-e.com/download/library-document-document_file/get/114/) Can you guide us how to enable replication for the already created volumes? Is it possible? I'm running DSS 5.0up 48
Solution:
Yes, it is possible to enable the replication for already created volumes. Whether the volumes where iSCSI or NAS, you can enable it by going to Configuration->Volume Manager->[VG Name] then chose the option of {expandLV} from the drop down list and tick
volume replication box. After that the volumes will be capable of running a replication task.
In DSS V6 you can do it from the Web-Gui: CONFIGURATION->volume->manager->[VG Name]-> Action: modify (and select what you want to modify) then tick Use volume replication.
