Adding a Replication Source
Add a system to the list of replication sources to allow it to send replicated data to the DXi4700. You must
add a source system to the list of allowed replication sources on the target DXi before you configure the
source DXi to send replicated data to the target. The DXi can receive replicated data fromup to 10 sources.

It is typical for the target DXi to require additional disk space for replication data compared to the
source DXi. This is because complete replication data is sent to the target before old data is deleted.
For optimal performance, if the DXi is a replication target, Quantum recommends keeping the amount
of free space at 20% or more (see
).
To add a replication source:
1. Under
