text: **11.6.2 Multiple IBM Spectrum Virtualize systems replication**
  
  Each IBM Spectrum Virtualize system can maintain up to three partner system relationships, 
  which enables as many as four systems to be directly associated with each other. This 
  system partnership capability enables the implementation of DR solutions.
