Replication functions

Select Replication from the StoreOnce menu item to display all aspects and tasks associated with
replication.
There are four tabs on the main Replication page and two further Navigator options for configuring VT
mappings and NAS mappings. The Status tab is the default.
Users with an administrator login can create mappings and configure replication. Operators can use this
page to view replication settings.
Replication settings
• Status tab on page 55
• Partner Appliances (Replication) on page 56
• Local Settings (Replication) tab on page 60
• Event History (Replication) tab on page 63
Replication mappings
• VT Mappings (Replication) on page 64
• NAS Mappings (Replication) on page 69
Replication actions are applied and monitored at appliance level. For StoreOnce 6500 and 6600 Systems,
this is the Service Set.
For a definition of an appliance, see What is an appliance? on page 54.
NOTE: A license is required for replication on the target appliance or service set.

What is an appliance?

Replication can take place between different models of StoreOnce Systems. The GUI refers to both
Replication Targets and Sources as appliances, so it is important to understand the different meanings of
"appliance" across the product models.
• In a StoreOnce 2xxx – 5xxx, the appliance is the physical device or server that contains the data to be
replicated. All mapping is done using the physical IP addresses of the target and source StoreOnce
Systems.
• In a StoreOnce 6500 and 6600, the appliance is the Service Set that contains the data to be
replicated. This means that each StoreOnce 6500 and 6600 System has at least two Service Sets that
can be selected as appliances. (A fully expanded StoreOnce 6500 and 6600 System would have eight
Service Sets.) All mapping is done using the virtual IP addresses of the target and source Service
Sets.
