Task Overview: Setting Up and Performing Replication
To replicate all data on a NAS share or VTL partition from a source system to a target system:
1. On the target system, add the source system to the list of allowed replication sources (see Adding a
Replication Source on page 261 ).
2. On the source system, specify the target system that will receive replicated data (see Adding a
Replication Target on page 255 ).
3. On the source system, create a new share or partition with deduplication enabled (see Adding a NAS
Share on page 194 or Adding a VTL Partition on page 209 ).
4. Enable replication for the new share or partition (see Enabling Replication For a Share or Partition on
page 132 ).
5. Before writing any data to the new share or partition, replicate the new share or partition (see
Replicating a Share or Partition on page 135 ).
