Enabling replication

To protect your data, enable node replication in addition to protecting your storage pools.

Procedure

To enable node replication for all of the clients that are registered to the source replication server, complete the following steps

  1. Open the Operations Center.
  2. On the Operations Center menu bar, hover over Storage and click Replication.
  3. On the Replication page, click +Server Pair.
  4. Complete the steps in the Add Server Pair wizard:
    • Set the source replication server as the first server that you configured for the multisite disk solution. The target replication server is the second server.
    • Set the node replication schedule to start 10 hours after the client backup window, based on the server maintenance activities that you scheduled in Defining schedules for server maintenance activities.
    • The wizard sets up storage pool protection schedules for you, based on the amount of data that you are protecting and when client replication is scheduled.

What to do next

If you plan to set up mutual replication between the two sites, run the Add Server Pair wizard again and set the second server as the source and the first server as the target.
