Configuring the Destination Drobo Device

Configuring a Drobo device as the destination, or target, for data replication enables it to receive
data from a source Drobo device. There should be no data on the target device, as it will only be
used to receive data from the source. Any pre-existing data on the target device will be deleted.
These steps assume you have already set up two Drobo devices on your network for data replication.
See Setting Up Your Drobo Device to Use DroboDR for details.
Note:
You need to be logged in as the administrator on the appropriate Drobo device to
perform this action.
1. In Drobo Dashboard, on the All Drobos page, select the Drobo device that you would like to
designate as the destination, or target.
2. Click the DroboDR option on the Navigation menu. The DroboDR page opens.
3. Click the Setup DroboDR button. The Setup DroboDR dialog page opens.
4. At the top, click the Sync as Target option. A message displays, warning that existing files on the
device could be overwritten.
5. Be sure that there are no files on the target, or that the files can be overwritten, and then click
the Yes button to continue. The password information on the Setup Drobo DR dialog page is
enabled.
