enabled.
Manually performing a synchronization is not necessary except in the cases described
above. When synchronization is manually initiated for a share or partition, the replication
queue for that share or partition is cleared. All file write and delete requests are queued after
the synchronization, and they are not processed until the synchronization is complete. This
can cause replication to appear to be slow, especially for a share or partition that is frequently
accessed.
CAUTION!
Before synchronizing a share or partition, make sure all media are unmounted and there
are no active backup jobs to the share or partition. (After the synchronization reaches
the Replicating state, backup jobs are allowed.)
Even when replication is paused, the system continues to queue Directory/File or
Cartridge Based Replication operations. Each time an operation is queued, the
system logs an administration alert that reports the total number of queued
Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication requests.
If a synchronization fails, make sure the target share or partition is unlocked (see
"Configuring a Target Share for Directory/File Based Replication" on page 390
"Configuring a Target Partition for Cartridge Based Replication" on page
To synchronize a share or partition:
1. Select the share or partition to synchronize.
If multiple targets are configured, click the arrow next to the share or partition to display
all targets, and then select the desired target.
2. Click Synchronize Now.
The status of the synchronization job displays in the Job Status column.
To cancel the synchronization job, select the share or partition and click Abort.
Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication Queue
The Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication displays replication statistics for shares or
partitions that are configured for Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication (see
