Log in to the PROD FlashArray GUI, and go to Storage --> Pods. Click on the plus icon at the right top corner of the Pods panel to bring up the following dialog. Enter a pod name and click on the Create button. Once we have completed the setup, the contents of this pod will be replicated to the remote array.
This can also be performed by executing the following CLI command.
pureuser@sn1-x70r2-e03-27> purepod create oraprd12-pod
Name Source Array Status Frozen At Promotion Status Link Count
oraprd12-pod - sn1-x70r2-e03-27 online - promoted 0
Notice the Promotion Status column. A pod when created is in the promoted status, which means that it is available for both reads as well as writes.
