Adding a Replication Policy

From the NAS Manager, navigate to Data ProtectionReplicationNAS
Replication.
Add a policy by clicking the Add button. A policy can be a local volume
replication or a remote volume replication. For local replication, choose
localhost as the destination system.

Managing Replication Policies

To manage a replication policy (either local or remote), access the NAS
Manager or the CLI. A schedule can be set to hourly, daily or weekly intervals.
You can also choose to replicate a volume on demand. It is recommended that
you stagger the replication schedules or set the replication time during a time
when the system is not under heavy load. Replication slows down client
traffic. When a policy is active, the target volume is read-only to all clients.
No writes can occur to this target volume as it is a mirror of the source
volume.
From the NAS Manager, navigate to Data ProtectionReplicationNAS
Replication.
Click on the hyperlink in the source system to modify a replication policy or
click Add to create one.

Deleting a Replication Policy

When deleting a replication policy, both volumes contain the system
configuration of the source system. It is optional to transfer the source system
configuration to the target system volume. This configuration includes users,
quotas, snapshot policies, security style and other properties. Check the
appropriate check box when deleting to transfer all properties.
From the NAS Manager, navigate to Data ProtectionReplicationNAS
Replication.
Click on the hyperlink on the source system to modify a replication policy.

Removing a Replication Partner
