Rules for primary servers used with Auto Image Replication (A.I.R.) and SLPs
Auto Image Replication (A.I.R.) operations use storage lifecycle policies (SLP) in at least two NetBackup primary server domains. Verify that the two primary servers follow these rules:
If you want to replicate to specific targets (targeted A.I.R.), you must create the Import SLP on the target domain before you create the Auto Image Replication SLP on the source domain. You may then choose the appropriate import SLP.
Note:
Ensure that the Import SLP name contains fewer than 113 characters.
The storage lifecycle policy's data classification in the source primary server domain must match the SLP policy's data classification in the target primary server domain.
The duplicate-to-remote-primary copy in the source SLP must use hierarchical duplication and specify a source copy with a residence capable of replication. (The disk pool replication column must show the Source.)
The SLP in the target domain must specify an import for its first copy. The residence for the import must include the device that is the replication partner of the source copy in the source SLP. The import copy may specify a storage unit group or a storage unit but not .
The SLP in the target domain must have at least one copy that specifies the Remote retention type.
