Verify local copy licensed capacity: Ensure that the production cluster has enough licensed capacity to support an additional local copy.

Add a local copy to the Consistency Group: Use the RecoverPoint management console to add a local copy to the existing Consistency Group. This process involves selecting the Consistency Group and choosing the option to add a local copy.

Configure the local copy settings: Set up the local copy by defining the copy policy, RPO, and other relevant settings as per the application’s protection requirements.

For detailed procedures and best practices, refer to the Dell EMC RecoverPoint documentation, which provides comprehensive guidelines on adding copies to Consistency Groups and managing licensed capacities1.
