5. Enter a Sync ID in the box.
The Sync ID is used to identify the target share or partition that will receive replicated
data from the source share or partition. The Sync ID must be identical to the Sync ID of
the target share or partition on the target system.
The Sync ID must contain no more than 32 characters (NAS share) or 12 characters
(VTL partition) and can contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and
hyphens. (An underscore or hyphen must not be the first character.)
If you are performing Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication with a
system running an ETERNUS CS800 software version prior to 2.3, you may
need to change the
Sync ID on the system running pre-2.3 software to match
the above Sync ID name restrictions.
6. Select the check box for each replication target you want to replicate the share or
partition to. (You must select at least one target.) When the share or partition is
replicated, its data will be sent to all selected targets.
Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication will be configured for all
selected targets. You cannot configure one share or partition for multiple
replication types.
7. Click Apply .
After you configure a share or partition for Directory/File or Cartridge Based
Replication, you should synchronize it to ensure it is in sync with the target
share or partition (see
"Synchronizing a Share or Partition" on page 354 ).
Replicating a Share or Partition
Replicate a NAS share or VTL partition to send a snapshot of the share or partition to the
target systems. A snapshot is required to recover the data on the targets at a later time. If
you have not configured a replication schedule for a share or partition, replication only
occurs when you manually initiate it.
CAUTION!
Do not replicate a partition containing media in an Exported state.
To replicate a share or partition:
1. Select the share or partition to replicate.
If multiple targets are configured, click the arrow next to the share or partition to
display all targets, and then select the desired target.
2. Click Replicate Now .
The status of the replication job displays in the Job Status column.
To cancel the replication job, select the share or partition and click Abort .
