Defining what to replicate
You use the Replication> episodic job commands to set up a job definition. This defined job determines what to replicate and when, using the settings from the previous commands.
Make sure that you created a schedule for replicating files from the source to the destination cluster.
See Scheduling the episodic replication.
To set up the episodic replication job
- To create an episodic replication job, enter the following:
Replication> episodic job create job_name src_repunit tgt_repunit link_name schedule_name [evpsn] [metadata_only]
job_name
Specify a name for the episodic replication job you want to create.
src_repunit
Specify the source episodic replication unit. The episodic replication unit determines the exact item (such as a file system) that you want to replicate.
tgt_repunit
Specify target episodic replication units.
link_name
Specify the link name used when you ran the Replication> episodic config auth command between the local cluster and the remote cluster. Both the source cluster and the destination cluster need to be assigned a unique identifier (name). This identifier is used to identify the link that is established between the source and the destination clusters. You can use the link name instead of the virtual IP addresses of the source and the destination clusters when using the other episodic replication commands.
schedule_name
Specify the name of the episodic replication schedule you want to apply to the episodic replication job.
evpsn
Enable or disable Enterprise Vault partition secure notifications.
metadata_only
Enable or disable metadata-only episodic replication. This feature is not supported with consistency groups and tunables.
Note:
If you configure episodic replication on a WORM-enabled file system, the job configuration fails if either the source or destination clusters are configured with Normal lockdown mode. It is recommended that the source and destination clusters should be configured with the same lockdown modes.
- To add an excluding unit to the job, enter the following command. This step is optional.
Replication> episodic job exclude job_name exclunit_name
- By default, the job is disabled. To enable the job, enter the following:
Replication> episodic job enable job_name
- To check if the job was enabled, enter the following:
Replication> episodic job show [job_name]
