Managing the replication grid

The topics in this section define tasks used when working with the replication grid
in an FSI environment.
Management and configuration of a replication grid is done through the
ProtecTIER Replication Manager Grids Management view of ProtecTIER Manager.
A replication grid is composed of a set of repositories that share a common ID and
can potentially transmit and receive logical objects through replication. Repositories
do not need physical connections between them. However, all repositories do need
a network connection to the ProtecTIER Replication Manager server. ProtecTIER
Replication Manager is installed on a ProtecTIER node and can manage up to one
grid with up to 24 repositories.
In a many-to-many environment, a replication grid can have up to 2 groups of 4
target/source repositories replicating to each other per group. So, it can have up to
two "topology groups" for a total of 8 members.
Creating a replication grid
Use the following procedure to create a replication grid:
Note: Grid IDs and repository IDs are numbers that are never recycled. Even if a
repository "leaves" the grid and "re-enters" the grid, it does not receive the same
ID. Thus, actions like leaving a grid are expected to be rare and are not a part of
the normal flow of work.
1. Click Create new grid. The Create new grid dialog is displayed.
2. Complete the fields to define a grid. Type a unique Grid ID or select a unique
3. Click Ok. The new grid is added to the Grids list in the navigation pane of the
Deleting a replication grid
Deleting a grid is only allowed if the grid is empty. In addition, once you have
deleted a grid, the Grid ID cannot be reused. Being that there are only 64 grid
numbers (0 - 63), deleting a grid means that you 'lose' one grid ID.
