Daily Replication Schedule Example

Daily Replication Schedule Example

The daily Replication schedule example in this topic illustrates the process for setting up a replication schedule that uses a 24-hour clock (the time keeping convention where time of day is defined on a 24–hour basis). You set or view a Replication schedule in the Replication Schedule page. For more information, see Creating a Replication Schedule.

NOTE: Replication schedules can only be set on individual replication-enabled source containers.

To set a daily replication schedule that starts at 16:00 hours (which is 4:00 PM in a 12–hour clock format) and stops at 23:00 hours (which is 11:00 PM in a 12–hour clock format) on Mondays, click Edit Schedule (if modifying an existing schedule) or Schedule (if creating a new schedule):

•
Select 16 in the hours pull-down list and 00 in the minutes pull-down list to set a Start Time of 16:00 on Monday.
•
Select 23 in the hours pull-down list and 00 in the minutes pull-down list to set a Stop Time of 23:00 for Monday.
•
Set the Start Time and Stop Time setpoints for any remaining days of the week on which you want to schedule replication.
 
NOTE: You must set a corresponding Stop Time for every Start Time in each Replication schedule you set. The DR Series system will not support any Replication schedule that does not contain a Start Time/Stop Time pair of setpoints (daily or weekly).

Weekly Replication Schedule Example

Weekly Replication Schedule Example

The following example shows how to set up a weekly Replication schedule with a start time at 01:00 am on Saturday and a stop time at 01:00 am on Sunday. The DR Series system uses the 24-hour clock convention for its time keeping in which each day is divided into twenty-four 1-hour segments.

NOTE: Replication schedules can only be set on individual replication-enabled source containers that you select from the Container drop-down list.
•
Select 01 in the hours pull-down list and 00 in the minutes pull-down list to set a Start Time of 01:00 for Saturday.
•
Select 01 in the hours pull-down list and 00 in the minutes pull-down list to set a Stop Time of 01:00 for Sunday
 
NOTE: You need to click Set Schedule for the DR Series system to accept your Replication schedule.

For more information on Replication schedules, see Creating a Replication Schedule.

Disabling Encryption

This topic describes using the DR Series system to manage encryption settings and operations. Encryption operations include tasks, such as enabling or turning off encryption, setting or changing the passphrase, and setting the encryption mode. For more information about recommended guidelines for setting up encryption, see the topic, Configuring and Using Encryption at Rest.

 
NOTE: Due to export regulations, the encryption at rest feature is not available in certain markets, and, therefore, may not be available in your locale.

Setting or Changing the Passphrase

Setting or Changing the Passphrase

A passphrase is a very important part of the encryption process on the DR Series system as the passphrase is used to encrypt the content encryption key or keys. It is mandatory to define a passphrase to enable encryption. If the passphrase is compromised or lost, the administrator should change it immediately so that the content encryption keys do not become vulnerable.

To set or change the encryption passphrase, complete the following steps:

Select Storage > Encryption.
The Encryption page is displayed, which displays the current encryption status of the DR Series system.
2.
Click Set or Change Passphrase.
The Set or Change Passphrase dialog box opens.
3.
In the Passphrase and Confirm Passphrase text boxes, enter the passphrase to be used to encrypt content encryption keys.
When creating a passphrase, follow these guidelines:
◦
The passphrase string can take up to 256 characters.
◦
Alphanumeric and special characters can be entered as part of the passphrase string.
 
NOTE: Input/output operations for the DR Series system will halt during passphrase configuration, and the system will resume after passphrase submission.
