Controlling Replication Traffic In Fsi; Suspending Replication Activity - IBM TS7650G User Manual

data in the repository remains accessible during cloning. If backup data is written
to the clone, the relevant modified section is written as new data on the repository.
Note: The clone operation might be slower when the system is busy with other
resource consuming processes, such as replications.
Procedure
Follow the steps to clone a replication destination directory:
1. From the Systems Management view, choose Replication > Replication
2. In the Source directory pane, select the file system from which to clone the
3. Click Browse to search for and select the directory name of the replication
4. In the Target directory pane, select the file system and directory (or share) to
5. Click Browse to select the new directory path and type the new directory name
6. Click Clone. A message displays that it may take time for all of the directory
7. Click yes to confirm and begin the operation. The Cloning progress window
8. Click to hide the Cloning progress window.
What to do next
From the navigation pane, click on Activities to see a detailed view of the cloning
activities.

Controlling replication traffic in FSI

This section describes how to suspend, resume, and block replication activities in
an FSI environment.
About this task
Suspending replication activity temporarily pauses data replication between a
source and a destination. Whereas, blocking incoming replication activities is not a
temporary state, and must be reactivated when needed.

Suspending replication activity

This task describes how to suspend and resume data replication activity between a
source and a destination. You can suspend replication activity on a policy for up to
72 hours, without having to perform a full resynchronization between the source
and destination repositories.
Procedure
Follow these steps to suspend/resume replication activity:
Directory > Clone a replication directory. The Clone a replication directory
window is displayed.

displays the source and destination paths, the total number of files to be
cloned, the start time of the operation, and the number of files cloned per
second.
