Each target Fibre Channel port is displayed, along with the partition and
virtual media changer and tape drives (VMC and VTDs) mapped to the
port.
Replication
The Replication Configuration page allows you to configure the
DXi8500 to act as a replication source or target. A source
sends
replicated data to a target, and a target
receives
replicated data from up
to 10 sources. A DXi8500 can act as both a source and a target.
Note: For more information about data replication, or to perform
data replication, see DXi8500 Replication on page 165.
To access the
Replication Configuration
page, click the
Configuration
menu, and then click the Replication tab.
The Replication Configuration page contains the following tabs:
• Replication Send
• Replication Receive
Replication Send
The Replication Send page allows you to specify the target system the
DXi8500 will send replicated data to. You must specify the replication
target before you enable replication for a NAS share or VTL partition.
When replication is enabled for a share or partition, replicated data is
sent to the target system during scheduled or manual replication.
Optionally, you can choose to encrypt replication data or specify a
constant throttle to limit the network bandwidth used for replication.
Note: For more information about enabling and scheduling
replication for a share or partition, see Send NAS on page 173
or Send VTL on page 182.
To access the Replication Send page, on the Replication
Configuration page, click the Send tab (see Figure 175 ).
