Adding or removing a replication relationship between two storage servers

Before adding a replication relationship, you must understand the consequences of this action:

Any classic (or non-targeted) Auto Image Replication storage lifecycle policies that replicate from the source domain storage server will replicate to the target domain storage server.

Before removing a replication relationship, you must understand the consequences of this action:

Any classic (or non-targeted) A.I.R. SLPs that replicate from the source domain storage server will no longer replicate to the target domain storage server.
Any targeted A.I.R. SLPs that replicate from the source domain storage server to the target domain storage server will fail. These SLPs should be removed or modified so that they no longer replicate to the target domain.

Complete the following steps to add or remove a replication relationship between two storage servers:

To change (add or remove) a replication relationship

This step depends on whether OpenStorage or MSDP storage is used:
- For OpenStorage storage, contact your storage administrator to change the replication relationship, as this procedure differs between vendors.
- For MSDP storage, the relationships can be changed in the source domain by the NetBackup administrator.
After the relationship is changed, update the disk pools in both domains to reflect the topology changes:
In the NetBackup Administration Console, expand Media and Device Management > Devices > Disk Pools. Select and refresh the disk pools. The nbdevconfig - updatedp command can also be used. (See the OpenStorage Solutions Guide for information about the replication topology for Auto Image Replication.)
