Replication compatibility
Before you set up replication operations with IBM Storage Protect, you must ensure that the source and target replication servers are compatible for replication.

Tips:
- To optimize the process of bidirectional replication, ensure that both the target and source replication servers are running at the same level.
- To upgrade a pair of servers that are used for bidirectional replication, upgrade one server first and monitor it to ensure that operations are stable. Afterward, upgrade the other server.
- To upgrade a pair of servers that are used for unidirectional replication, upgrade the source replication server first. Then, monitor the source replication server to ensure that operations are stable. Afterward, upgrade the target replication server.
