Workflow for cDot equivalent of 7dot Protection Manager topology "Backup, Then Mirror"

Thanks to our technical PS colleagues, I have been able to achieve with cDot / WFA, what 7Dot and Protection Manager enabled.

Note that the schedules and snapmirror polices need to exist before hand during the deployment stage.

This is to ensure the workflow inputs remain simple.

Just FYI. WFA 2.1 has a similar workflow called "Create SnapVault then SnapMirror cascade". You could also use that as a starting point and then add the primary provisioning functionality.

Agree, but the difference is that dfm dataset concepts require provisioning primary, backup and mirror while the policies and schedules are to be pre-created.
