Additional Linux Commands

replication --show [--limits]

Description

Displays the limits set for your replication containers on the DR Series system.

Syntax

replication --show --limits

Result

Replication limits are enabled.
Host Name Target IP Speed Limit
acme-85 10.21.22.20 192 KBps

NOTE: You can limit the bandwidth consumed by the replication process by setting a value in kilobytes/second (kbps), megabytes/second (mbps), gigabytes/second (gbps), or use an unlimited bandwidth (default). The minimum allowed bandwidth setting for a DR Series system is 192 kbps.

For more information, see replication --limit --speed <<num><kbps | mbps | gbps> | default> --target <ip address | hostname>.

replication --add --name <name> --role <source | target> --peer <ip address | hostname> [--peer_name <name>] [--peer_group_name <name>] [--replication_traffic <ip address | hostname>] [--encryption <none | aes128 | aes256>][--username <user name>]

replication --add --name <name> --role <source | target> --peer <ip address | hostname> [--peer_name <name>] [--peer_group_name <name>] [--replication_traffic <ip address | hostname>] [--encryption <none || aes256>][--username <user name>]

Description

Adds a new replication link to a container on the DR Series system, for which you need to define its name, role, peer appliance IP address/hostname , peer name, peer group name, user name on the peer system, and encryption level to apply. The peer group name is the name of the remote container’s group to replicate to/from, and this parameter is applicable only if a remote container is not present.

There are three options for encryption: none,(Advanced Encryption Standard), using128-bit cryptographic keys, and aes256 (using 256-bit AES cryptographic keys).

If the username is a domain login (for example, domain\username), ensure that '\' characters and spaces are either escaped or in quotes.

NOTE: Make sure that the data container you intend to replicate already exists. If it does not, the following error message displays: Error: Container <container_name> does not exist.

Syntax

replication --add --name backup --role source --peer 10.250.240.192 --encryption aes128

Result

Enter password foradministrator@10.250.240.192:
Replication entry created successfully.
Replication Container : backup
Replication Role : Source
Replication Target : 10.250.240.192
Replication Target IP : 10.250.240.192
Replication Target Mgmt Name : 10.250.240.192
Replication Target Mgmt IP : 10.250.240.192

Replication Local Data IP : 10.250.208.232
Replication Target Container : backup
Replication Enabled : Yes
Replication Compression Enabled: Yes
Replication Encryption : AES 128-bit

NOTE: To verify that you have successful added a replication link to the DR Series system (or to view the current status of existing containers), see replication --show.

replication --update --name <name> --role <source | target> [--peer <ip address | hostname>] [--encryption <none | aes128 | aes256>] [--username <user name>]

replication --update --name <name> --role <source | target> [--peer <ip address | hostname>] [--encryption <none || aes256>] [--username <user name>]

Description

Updates an existing replication link to a container in a DR Series system and allows you to change the corresponding role, peer IP address or host name, the encryption being used, and user name based on the DR Series system CLI command options you specify.

Syntax

replication --update --name backup --role source --peer 10.25.19.5

Result

NOTE: If you attempt to update a container that already has replication enabled, this displays the following message:

Replication on backup is enabled and cannot be updated, please stop it first.

When replication is enabled on the container, you must first disable it before you can update it. To disable replication on a container, enter the DR Series system CLI replication --stop command and define the container name and role:

replication --stop --name <name> --role <source | target>

NOTE: For more information about disabling replication, see replication --stop --name <name> --role <source | target>.

Disables replication on a container:

replication --stop --name backup --role source
Replication configuration updated successfully.
Replication Container : backup
Replication Role : Source
Replication Target System : acme-85
Replication Target System IP : 10.25.192.5
Replication Target Container : acme85-S2
Replication Enabled : No
Replication Compression Enabled : Yes
Replication Encryption : AES 128-bit

replication --delete --name <name> --role <source | target> [--force]

Description

Deletes an existing replication link to a container in a DR Series system.

NOTE: It is recommended that the replication be in an INSYNC state for this operation. If replication is not in an INSYNC state, this operation can potentially take a much longer time to execute.

Syntax

replication --delete --name acme-59-replica --role target

If you attempt to delete a container that already has replication enabled, this displays the following message:

Replication on acme-59-replica is enabled and cannot be deleted, please stop it first.

NOTE: If the replication state of the link is enabled, you must use the replication --stop command to disable replication before you can delete the replication link. For more information, see replication --stop --name <name> --role <source | target>.

Deletes the existing replication link to a container.

replication --delete --name acme-59-replica --role source

Result

Successfully deleted replication entry.

NOTE: The DR Series system CLI --force command is optional, and this command allows you to force the deletion of an existing replication link (such as when communications between the source and target are not working).
