Once you have added the source system hostname or IP address to
the target system, you must add the target system hostname or IP
address to the source system. The source system can only replicate
data to one target (see
3
Now that both the target and source systems are setup for
replication, you can enable replication and either schedule the
replication process or manually replicate a share (see
Directory/File Based
Replication
Directory/File Based Replication, when configured, automatically
replicates file data without user intervention or a schedule. The
replication is triggered by a CLI command for file data (NAS share). This
greatly enhances replication performance since only the file data in a
NAS share that has changed will be replicated instead of the entire NAS
share.
After Directory/File Based Replication, NAS share files are automatically
recovered on the
Target
system. You may also initiate a synchronization
from the
Source
system to the
Target
system on NAS shares that have
been configured for Directory/File Based Replication. This will replace all
files on the
Target
NAS share with the most up to date files on the
Source
system.
Directory/File Based
Replication NAS
Configuration Steps
Configuring Directory/File Based Replication consists of the following
steps:
• On the
Target
system, create a new NAS share.
• On the
Target
system, access the
Directory/File Based Targets
page
and set the share
Sync ID
. The
Sync ID
is used to synchronize the
Source Role NAS share with the Target Role NAS share (see
Role NAS Directory/File Target Configuration
• On the
Source
system, edit the NAS share that is enabled for
replication and enter the
Sync ID
previously configured on the
Target
system (see
• Your system is configured for NAS Directory/File Based Replication.
