Viewing replication statistics by using the CLI

Viewing replication statistics by using the CLI

In addition to using the DR Series system GUI to view replication information, you can also view statistics for a specific replication container by using the DR Series system CLI command: stats --replication --name <container name>

This command displays the following statistics.

•
Container Name (name of the replication container)
•
Replication Source Container (name that identifies the data source)
•
Replication Source System (IP address or host name of the data source)
•
Peer Status (current status of replication peer; for example, paused)
•
Replication State (current state of replication relationship; for example, insync)
•
Schedule Status (current status in days, hours, minutes, seconds)
•
Replication Average Throughput (in Kebibytes per second, KiB/s)
•
Replication Maximum Throughput (in KiB/s)
•
Network Average Throughput (average throughput rate in KiB/s)
•
Network Maximum Throughput (maximum throughput rate in KiB/s)
•
Network Bytes Sent (total network bytes sent in Mebibytes/MiB)
•
Dedupe Network Savings (total deduplication network savings in percentage)
•
Compression Network Savings (total compression network savings in percentage)
•
Last INSYNC Time (date of last sync operation in yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss format)
•
Estimated time to sync (time until next sync operation in days, hours, minutes, and seconds)

Data replication history is also displayed on a file-by-file basis, with a replication timestamp, and other file related information.

For more information about DR Series system CLI commands, see the DR Series System Command Line Reference Guide.

Adding replication relationships

Adding replication relationships

To add a new replication relationship, complete the following steps.

1.
In the left navigation menu, click Replications, and then select the storage group that contains the container for which you want to set up replication. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group in your DR Series system, you do not need to select a group.)
The Replications page is displayed.
2.
In the Actions menu in the upper right corner of the page, click Add Replication.
The Add Replication pane is displayed.
3.
Next to Choose Replication Type, select one of the following options.
◦
Replica Only
◦
Replica & Cascade
4.
Click Next.
5.
To define the source container, for Select Container Location, select the Local or Remote option.
◦
If you select Local, select the local container from the drop-down list.
◦
If you select Remote, configure the following settings:
1.
Username—enter the username for the remote system.
2.
Password—enter the password for the remote system.
3.
Remote System—enter the domain name of the remote system.
4.
Click Retrieve Remote Containers.
5.
Select Remote Container—Select the remote container from the drop-down list.
6.
For Encryption, select one of the following encryption options to encrypt the data as it is replicated: Not Enabled, AES 128–bit, or AES 256–bit.
7.
Under Replica Container, define the target replica container by configuring the following settings.
◦
Username—enter the username for the remote system.
◦
Password—enter the password for the remote system.
◦
Remote System—enter the domain name of the remote system.
◦
Click Retrieve Remote Containers.
◦
Select Remote Container—Select the remote container from the drop-down list.
8.
If you specified to set up cascaded replication, define the cascaded replication by doing the following.
a.
Under Cascaded Replica Container, click Select a container from the remote system to select the container you will be using for the cascaded replica.
b.
Enter the logon credentials of the remote system.
c.
Click the Retrieve Remote Container button, and, in the drop-down list, select a remote container from the list of available containers.
d.
For Encryption, select one of the following encryption options: Not Enabled, 128–bit, or 256–bit.
9.
Click Save.
 
NOTE: For information about starting and stopping replication, see the topic, "Starting and Stopping Replication." For information about scheduling system operations such as replication, see the topic, “Understanding System Operation Scheduling.”

Modifying replication relationships

Modifying replication relationships

You can modify the following replication settings: encryption and remote container’s IP address/host name settings. To modify settings for an existing replication relationship, complete the following steps.

 
CAUTION: You should exercise caution when configuring the direction of replication for source and target containers. For example, target containers can have their contents deleted if they contain existing data.
 
NOTE: Because you cannot modify an existing defined role (source or target replica) for a replication relationship, if necessary, you must delete the existing replication relationship, and then recreate a new relationship with the specific source and target roles that you want.
1.
In the left navigation menu, click Replications, and then select the storage group that contains the container for which you want to modify replication. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group in your DR Series system, you do not need to select a group.)
The Replication page is displayed, which lists all current replication entries.
2.
From the list, select the replication relationship that you want to modify, and click to expand the details.
3.
Click the Edit icon and then, in the Edit Replication pane, modify the settings/values for the Source, Replica, or Cacscaded Replica containers as needed.
a.
For Remote System, modify the IP address/host name and user logon credentials of the source remote system as needed.
b.
Review the replication details, and then click Save.
4.
Click Save.

Deleting replication relationships

Deleting replication relationships

To delete an existing replication relationship, complete the following steps:

1.
In the left navigation menu, click Replications, and then select the storage group that contains the container for which you want to delete a replication. (If you are only using the DefaultGroup storage group in your DR Series system, you do not need to select a group.
The Replication page is displayed, which lists all current replication entries.
2.
From the list, select the replication relationship that you want to delete, and click to expand the details.
3.
Click the Delete icon and then, in the confirmation dialog box, click Delete.
 
NOTE: If the deletion fails, you can click Force Delete to force removal of the relationship.
