Replication Set represents a logical grouping of Replication Pairs. This allows you to configure certain properties and activities at the Replication Set level and thus control all the included Replication Pairs together.
Replication sets can be created in the following ways:
The following are the properties which can be configured for a Replication Set.
Provides an option to Destination Host for all Replication Pairs within the Replication Set. Each Replication Set has one Destination Host. To replicate data to multiple hosts, you must create separate Replication Sets.
| When using an ONTAP filer as the destination you must specify a Windows User Account who is a member of the local Administrators group on the destination. See Create a Replication Set, for more information. |
The following data replication types are available:
You can specify commands to run either before a Recovery Point is created and/or after a Recovery Point is created. For general information about Pre/Post commands, see Pre/Post Processes.
See ContinuousDataReplicator in User Accounts and Passwords for more information.
You can:
A persistent connection is used as a data transfer mechanism across the network, to keep destination computer in sync with the defined content on the source computer. The following options for data transfer mechanisms are available:
Orphan files are files that are available only in destination directory and not in the source directory. Several options are provided to handle the orphan files. For more information, see Orphan Files.
Filters allow you to specify files, folders, and patterns to be excluded from data replication activities, for all Replication Pairs in a Replication Set. For more information, see Replication Filters.
Configure User Security for the Replication Set, after it has been created. For more information, see User Administration and Security.
Configure the advanced properties for Replication Set to modify the default values of the minimum file size and the block size for hashing. For step-by-step instructions, see Create a Replication Set.
The following are the operations which can be initiated for a Replication Set.
For more information, see Replication Pair.
You can change the state of one or more Replication Pairs at once from the Replication Set level, see Change the state of Replication Pair for step-by-step instructions.
You can resume the Replication Pairs within a Replication Sets that have the same destination. See Resume Data Replication Activity for a Replication Set for step-by-step instructions..
It is possible to effect the initial transfer of data from a source to a destination without using the Baselining Phases. This can be useful when the connection between the source and the destination is constrained, such as a slow WAN connection. For step-by-step instructions to perform initial transfer of data, see Out Of Band Sync from the Replication Set.
You can monitor all details of on-going replication activities for Replication Set, are shown in the Data Replication Monitor in the CommCell Console. For more information, see Monitoring Data Replication.
