Note:
Quantum recommends scheduling replication to run after
backups are complete (see
Scheduling a Share or Partition for
Replication
on page 358). If you do not enable scheduled
replication, replication will only occur if you manually replicate
a share (see
Replicating a Share
on page 179) or if you
configure Directory/File Based Replication (see
Configuring a
Source Share for Directory/File Based Replication
on page 178).
Note:
Disabling replication for a share does not delete any scheduled
replication events for that share. If you no longer want to
schedule the share for replication, manually delete the
schedule (see
Deleting a Scheduled Event
on page 363).
Configuring a Source
Share for Directory/File
Based Replication
Configure a NAS share for Directory/File Based Replication to
automatically replicate files to a target system. A file is automatically
replicated when it is closed or a period of time after it is modified. After
replication, the replicated files are immediately available on the target
system. There is no need to recover the share to make the files available.
Disable Directory/File Based Replication if you do not want to
automatically replicate files.
When you configure a share for Directory/File Based Replication, you
specify a Sync ID for the share. The Sync ID associates the share on the
source system with the share on the target system that will received the
replicated data. As long as you specify a matching Sync ID for both the
source and target shares, the shares do not have to have the identical
names. However, if you do not specify a Sync ID, the source and target
shares must have identical names. Quantum recommends that you
assign a matching Sync ID to the source and target shares.
Note:
For information about specifying the Sync ID on the target
share, see
Configuring a Target Share for Directory/File Based
Replication
on page 201.
