Running The Replication Wizard (Nas) - HPE StoreOnce 6500 User Manual

Running the replication wizard (NAS)

The Replication Wizard creates new mappings between non-replicating NAS shares (which become
Replication Source shares) and existing or new Target shares. (See Recovering a source appliance
(NAS shares) on page 73 for information about the Recovery wizard.)
NOTE: NAS replication is a 1:1 relationship from the source to the target. Fan-in, replicating from multiple
sources to a single target (available for VTL and StoreOnce Catalyst replication), is not available with
NAS replication.
Procedure
1. Create a non-replicating share on the Source Appliance.
2. Allow the first full backup to run.
3. Decide how to seed the first full backup on the Target Appliance.
• If seeding across the WAN or can colocate the Target Appliance on the same LAN as the Source
Appliance, go to step 4.
• If seeding using physical media:
a. Create the share on the Remote Site share.
b. Mount the source NAS share to the host and copy the files from the NAS share to a USB disk.
c. Transport the USB disk to the replication target site.
d. Pause housekeeping on the replication target site appliance (see Pausing housekeeping on
page 120) to prevent the transmission of more data than is necessary.
e. Insert the USB disk into a host server on the same sub-net as the Target Appliance. Mount the
target NAS share to the host and copy the files across from the USB disk at the source site.
f. Resume housekeeping on the replication target site appliance.
4. Go to the NAS Mappings page.
5. Select a non-replicating share to be converted to a Replication Source Share and click Start
Replication Wizard.
6. Proceed to the Select Target Appliance step.
TIP: Click show/hide details box to check how many target appliances are permitted and the
number of target appliances that are currently configured.
7. Select a Target Appliance from the list and click Next.
NOTE: To select an appliance not yet on the list, click Add Target Appliance. Enter the Target
Appliance IP Address or fully qualified domain name. The default values for the Command and Data
Protocol Port Numbers may not be edited. (If replication needs to take place through a firewall, the
network administrator will need to open (TCP) ports 9387 (Command protocol) and 9388 (Data
protocol) to allow the replication traffic to pass to and from the StoreOnce Systems.) Click Add
Target Appliance.
