Use the replication command to control existing replication between two Rapid Recovery Cores and manage pending replication requests.
Replicate command, which establishes the connection—called pairing—between the Cores and uses a seed drive for the initial data transfer. For more information about this command, see Replicate.
Usage
The usage for the command is as follows:
/replication [-list [incoming | outgoing | pending] -accept | -deny | -ignore | -delete | -edit] -id [replication ID] -protectedserver [name | name repository] -responsecomment [comment] -deleterecoverypoints -scheduletype [type] -dailystarttime [time] -dailyendtime [time] -weekdaystarttime [time] -weekdayendtime [time] -weekendstarttime [time] -weekendendtime [time]
Command Options
The following table describes the options available for the replication command:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
-? |
Display this help message. |
-core |
Optional. Remote Core host machine IP address (with an optional port number). By default, the connection is made to the Core installed on the local machine. |
-user |
Optional. User name for the remote Core host machine. If you specify a user name, you must also provide a password. If none is provided, then the credentials for the logged-on user are used. |
-password |
Optional. Password to the remote Core host machine. If you specify a password, you also have to provide a user name. If none is provided, then the credentials for the logged-on user are used |
-list |
The list of incoming or outgoing replication jobs or pending replication requests. |
-accept |
Accepts the replication request. |
-deny |
Denies the replication request. |
-ignore |
Ignores the replication request. |
-delete |
Use this option to delete an existing replication job or a machine from the replication job. Specify only the -id parameter to delete an entire replication relationship, or specify both the -id and -protectedserver parameters to delete only specific machines from replication. |
-edit |
Edits the schedule of existing replication jobs. |
-id |
The identifier for the replication job or pending replication request. It can be a remote Core ID, host name, customer ID, email address, or pending replication request ID. |
-protectedserver |
When responding to a replication request, use this option to apply your response to list of protected servers with a repository name or ID. Use the parameter "all" to apply response to all requested machines. |
-responsecomment |
The comment you provide with the response to a pending replication request. |
-deleterecoverypoints |
Use this option if specific recovery points from a deleted replicated machine should also be removed. |
-scheduletype |
If you use the -edit option, this option specifies the type of replication schedule. Include one of the following four values:
|
-dailystarttime |
Use only for the daily value of the -scheduletype option. It is used to establish a window of time for when replication should occur. Use this option to specify the earliest time of day when you want replication to start.
Confirm with Dev. |
-dailyendtime |
Use only for the daily value of the -scheduletype option. It is used to establish a window of time for when replication should occur. Use this option to specify the latest time of day when you want replication to start.
Confirm with Dev. |
-weekdaystarttime |
Use only for the custom value of the -scheduletype option. It is used to establish a window of time for when replication should occur. Use this option to specify the earliest time of a weekday when you want replication to start.
Confirm with Dev. |
-weekdayendtime |
Use only for the custom value of the -scheduletype option. It is used to establish a window of time for when replication should occur. Use this option to specify the latest time of a weekday when you want replication to start.
Confirm with Dev. |
-weekendstarttime |
Use only for the custom value of the -scheduletype option. It is used to establish a window of time for when replication should occur. Use this option to specify the earliest time of the weekend when you want replication to start.
Confirm with Dev. |
-weekendendtime |
Use only for the custom value of the -scheduletype option. It is used to establish a window of time for when replication should occur. Use this option to specify the latest time of the weekend when you want replication to start.
Confirm with Dev. |
Examples:
List all incoming replication:
>cmdutil /replication -list incoming
Accept pending replication requests for two protected machines:
>cmdutil /replication -accept -id customer@email.address -protectedserver 10.10.1.1 Repository1 10.10.1.2 Repository2 -responsecomment A response comment
Deny a pending replication request:
>cmdutil /replication -deny -id customer@email.address
Delete existing replication with replicated recovery points:
>cmdutil /replication -delete -id RemoteServerHostname -deleterecoverypoints
Remove two machines from existing replication:
>cmdutil /replication -delete -id "156d7a46-8e44-43f4-9ed8-60d998e582bf" -protectedserver 10.10.1.1 10.10.1.2
Edit schedule of replication with specified weekday and weekend times:
>cmdutil /replication -edit -id RemoteServerHostName -scheduletype custom -weekdaystarttime "9:00 AM" -weekdayendtime "6:00 PM" -weekendstarttime "9:00 AM" -weekendendtime "6:00 PM"
