Service plans and replication

HCP replicates the associations between service plan names and tenants or namespace but does not replicate the service plans themselves. If you change the associations between service plan names and tenants on namespaces on a replica HCP system, the change is replicated to the rest of the HCP systems in the replication topology, ensuring that the service plan name associated with a tenant or namespace remains the same.

HCP does not replicate service plans. This means that replicated tenants or namespaces can be associated with the same service plan name on the two systems involved in a replication link, but the service plan configuration settings on the two systems can be entirely different. For example, a service plan named External Storage can tier to Amazon storage from system A and to S Series storage on system B.

You need to configure the service plans on each system in the replication topology. If you do not configure the service plans, the replicated namespaces and tenants use the Default service plan settings.
