Task Overview: Setting
Up and Performing
Directory/File or
Cartridge Based
Replication
To automatically replicate directories and files or cartridges from a
source system and immediately recover them for use on a target system:
1
Perform the following steps on the target system:
a
Add the source system to the list of allowed replication sources
(see
Replication Receive
on page 312).
b
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).
c
Enable Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication for the new
share or partition and specify the Sync ID (see
Configuring a
Target Share for Directory/File Based Replication
on page 201 or
Configuring a Target Partition for Cartridge Based Replication
on
page 215).
2
Perform the following steps on the source system:
a
Specify the target system that will receive replicated data (see
Replication Send
on page 309).
b
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).
c
Enable Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication for the new
share or partition and specify the Sync ID (see
Configuring a
Source Share for Directory/File Based Replication
on page 178 or
Configuring a Source Partition for Cartridge Based Replication
on page 187).
A file is automatically replicated when it is closed or a period of time
after it is modified. A cartridge is automatically replicated after it is
unmounted. After replication, the replicated directories and files or
cartridges are immediately available on the target system. There is no
need to recover the share or partition to make the directories and files
or cartridges available.
Caution:
Cartridge barcodes for all source systems that are
replicating to the same target must be unique.
