Managing Your Synchronous Replication Pair From The Replication Management Page - American Megatrends StorTrends 1300 User Manual

Step Action
10 Skip this step if you are not configuring a SAN Volume replication onto a New Volume.
The 'Confirm creation of new volumes' page opens.
Type in a name for your New Volume. You can keep the default name.
Select the provision type. Exact Provisioning is the default setting.
Type in a name to us as the Target Name for your New Volume.
Click the Next button to continue.
11 The 'Configure the Replication specific parameters' page opens.
Select the Resync priority. This field allows you to customize your resync priority.
Resync is used to synchronize the volumes. Setting the resync priority closer to 100% makes the volumes
more current, however it takes more system resources (such as CPU and memory resources) when this
setting is higher. It is set to 25 by default.
Click the Next button to continue.
12 A summary of the replication pair(s) and its parameters appears.
Click the Finish button to complete the wizard.
13 The Replication Pair(s) will be created. The Synchronous Replication Management page opens and will

Field Description
Existing Replication This table lists all existing replication pairs along with their information, such as Local
Pairs Table Volume, Remote Volume, Remote Host, Role, Link Status and Synchronization Percent.
Local/Remote Pool This field displays the pair's Local and Remote Storage Pools respectively.
Local/Remote Volume This field displays the pair's Local and Remote SAN Volumes respectively.
Volume Size This field displays the SAN Volumes' size (must be the same for both volumes in a pair).

Primary or the secondary/Remote volume of a given pair.
Replication Mode As of the ManageTrends version 2.7 release, only Synchronous Replication Mode is
supported.
Connection Mode Auto means that the replication pair is synchronized automatically. Manual means that the
replication pair can be synchronized manually.
Resync. Priority This field allows you to customize your resync priority. 25% is the default setting.
Resync is used to synchronize the volumes. Setting the resync priority closer to 100%
makes the volumes more current, however it takes more system resources (such as CPU
and memory resources) when this setting is higher.
Remote Host This field displays the IP Address of the Remote Host. In the event that the IP Address
changes on the Remote Host (such as the case when using DHCP), you can update the new
IP Address by typing it into this field. In the case of a local replication pair (involving two
volumes in the same local box, this column will show "local".
