Disabling Fsi Replication Policies - IBM TS7650G User Manual

Running a replication policy on a directory
About this task
File system directories and their contents can be individually replicated according
to preexisting replication policies. Directory replication can be invoked when
viewing a file system in the Directories navigation view. All data that does not
previously exist on the destination repository will be replicated.
Procedure
Follow the steps to manually run a policy on a specific folder:
1. In the Systems Management view, select a file system from the navigation pane.
2. Click on the Directory navigation tab to display the file system directories.
3. Select the directory on which to run the replication policy that has been
4. Right-click on the selected directory and choose Directory replication. If there

Disabling FSI replication policies

This topic describes how to disable a replication policy in an FSI environment.
About this task
Attention: Disabling a replication policy is not recommended. When a replication
policy is disabled in FSI, the replication destination directory (/rdd) that is
associated with the policy becomes unusable for any additional policies. A new or
modified /rdd must be used when the policy is reactivated.
Procedure
Follow the steps to disable an FSI replication policy:
1. From the Systems Management view, select Replication Policies from the
2. From the Replication Policies list, select an enabled policy to disable.
3. Choose Replication > Replication Policy > Disable replication policy. The
4. Type yes to confirm the operation and click Ok. The replication policy is
What to do next

/rdd, run the Take ownership of a replication directory procedure and replicate
the existing data to a different source. See "Taking ownership of a replication
destination directory" on page 120 for more information. Once all the data is
