4 Why can I not write to the target virtual volume with NFS or CIFS?
Once a replication policy is set, the target virtual volume is read only.
When the replication policy is detached, the target virtual volume will
no longer be read only.
5 I am on the target system and I cannot trigger a replication for my
destination virtual volume.
Replication operations must be performed on the source virtual volume.
6 Can I replicate to the same system?
Yes, you can replicate from one source virtual volume to a destination
virtual volume on the same system.
7 Is bi-directional replication supported between two systems?
Yes, you can have a mix of target volumes and source volumes on
replication partners.
8 Can I have multiple replication partner systems?
Yes, multiple replication partners are allowed; however, you cannot
replicate one virtual source volume to multiple target volumes.
9 When I delete the replication policy, I am asked if I want to apply the
source volume configuration to the target volume configuration. What
does this mean?
This means that you have the option to transfer all virtual volume level
properties (security style, quotas, NFS exports, CIFS shares, and so on) to
the target volume. You may want to do this if this virtual volume will take
the place of the source virtual volume and in other IT scenarios.
10 My client network slows down while replicating. Can I change the priority
of replication against serving clients?
This is by design. Replication is a lower level process and takes priority
over serving clients. Typically, replication finishes in under a minute.
11 Why can I not delete the replication policy from the target virtual volume?
This is by design. All configuration changes should be made on the
source virtual volume. If the system in which the source volume
resides cannot be reached (it is down, missing, and so on) you can
delete the replication policy on the destination.
