EPLICATION
If you have multiple Verde arrays, you can select one array to replicate data
to another array. You can replicate data from one source array to multiple
destination arrays, if desired. Replication uses the same data interface that
the array uses for normal file storage operations, so replication to multiple
target arrays can cause a decrease in file storage operation transfer speeds.
Once you configure the Replication service, you need to configure each
folder on the source array that you want to replicate. Use the instructions
in this section to configure the Replication service and to configure folders
for replication.
Notes:

There must be enough space on the destination array to hold
the replicated data from the target array, or the replication
fails.

If multiple Verde arrays replicate to the same target array, the
target array must use a different volume for each replication
source.

You must configure the data port on the source array and the
target array(s) before you can configure replication (see
Configure Ethernet Ports on page 91 ).

Your firewall must allow the Verde arrays configured for
replication to access port 59373 for configuring replication,
and ports 59374 ‐ 59400 for replication data transfers.
Configure the Target Array
1.
Log into the Verde user interface on the target array as described in Log
In to the Verde User Interface on page 42 .
2.
Create one or more storage pools as described in Create a New Storage
Pool on page 49 .
3.
Create one or more volumes as described in Create a New Volume on
page 53 . You must create one volume on the target array for each
volume you want to replicate on the source array . Otherwise, you can
create volumes when performing the steps in Configure Folders for
Replication .
Caution
You cannot use this volume for normal data storage operations, it can only be used
as a replication target. Any data in the specified target volume is deleted each time
the source array replicates data to the target array.
