Rules for master servers used with Auto Image Replication and SLPs
Auto Image Replication operations use storage lifecycle policies (SLP) in at least two NetBackup master server domains. Verify that the two master servers follow these rules:
If replicating to specific targets (targeted AIR), you must create the Import SLP before creating the Auto Image Replication SLP in the originating domain. You may then choose the appropriate import SLP.
Note:
Ensure that the Import SLP name is less than 113 characters.
The storage lifecycle policy's data classification in the source master server domain must match the SLP policy's data classification in the target master server domain.
The duplicate-to-remote-master copy in the source storage lifecycle policy must use hierarchical duplication and specify a source copy with a residence capable of replication. (The disk pool replication column must show Source.)
The storage lifecycle policy 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 storage lifecycle policy. The import copy may specify a storage unit group or a storage unit but not Any Available.
The storage lifecycle policy in the target domain must have at least one copy that specifies the Remote Retention type.
