Chapter 13. Native replication management (for FSI)

This chapter provides the information needed to manage native replication
configuration and monitoring of ProtecTIER FSI systems.
Native replication lets you replicate data objects between ProtecTIER repositories.
In order for a logical set of repositories to replicate from one to another, you must
create a replication grid. The replication grid is remotely created and managed by
the ProtecTIER Replication Manager.
The ProtecTIER Replication Manager is a server that remotely manages the
replication grids within an organization. ProtecTIER Manager connects to the
ProtecTIER Replication Manager using the IP address of the ProtecTIER Replication
Manager server. ProtecTIER Replication Manager is installed on a ProtecTIER node
and can manage up to one grid with 24 repositories.
Each ProtecTIER Replication Manager has a unique identity. A repository, once it
has joined a replication manager cannot join a replication grid managed by a
different replication manager, even if it has left the grid. This restriction prevents
data collision. Replication groups are created where multiple source repositories
can replicate to single, as well as multiple targets. These targets can then act as
Disaster Recovery sites for any number of the sources, while still allowing local
backups, as well as replication, from the active source repositories.

Working with ProtecTIER Replication Manager

button at the bottom of the navigation pane of ProtecTIER Manager.
Use the following procedure to connect to a new ProtecTIER Replication Manager:
1. Select Replication Manager > Add Replication Manager. The Add ProtecTIER
2. Enter the IP address of the ProtecTIER Replication Manager you want to add
Logging in to a ProtecTIER Replication Manager
Log in to a ProtecTIER Replication Manager:
1. Select Replication Manager > Login. The login screen is displayed.
2. Enter the Username: gmadmin and Password: gmadmin.
3. Click Ok. The Replication Manager view is displayed.
