Use the DXi8500 data replication features to perform the following
tasks:
• Replicate all data on a share or partition to another system where it
can be recovered at a later time (see
Task Overview: Setting Up and
Performing Replication
on page 169).
• Automatically replicate directories and files or cartridges to another
system where they are immediately available (see
Task Overview:
Setting Up and Performing Directory/File or Cartridge Based
Replication
on page 171).
• Recover data from a lost or damaged share or partition (see
Task
Overview: Recovering a Replicated Share or Partition
on page 172).
• Restore a lost or damaged share or partition back to its original
location (see
Task Overview: Performing a Share or Partition Failback

The
Replication

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
Replication Receive
on page 312).
2
On the source system, specify the target system that will receive
replicated data (see
Replication Send
on page 309).
3
On the source system, create a new share or partition with
deduplication enabled (see
Adding a NAS Share
on page 266 or
Adding a VTL Partition
on page 284).
4
Enable replication for the new share or partition (see
Enabling
Replication For a Share
on page 177 or
Enabling Replication For a
Partition
on page 185).
