The QoreStor seed operations allow for exporting data on the source to a portable seed device to then import the seed data to a primary target, and, if required, a secondary target as well. Replication seeding is an alternative to using network bandwidth for the initial re-synchronization of the source and target(s). After the target(s) are seeded, continuous replication can be started, which will keep the target(s) up to date by sending only unique data.
The QoreStor CLI seed commands support the following operations:
|
NOTE: The seeding device must be a CIFS share: a USB device connected to a Windows or Linux system and shared for import as a CIFS-mounted folder. |
|
NOTE: The following scenarios are not supported for seeding:
|
Creates a seed export job of type import or export on the source QoreStor or DR. The command will prompt for a password, and this password will be requested on the target to import the data. The command allows you to specify the type of encryption that will be used to encrypt the data on the seed device. The default value is aes256. The default value for storage group name is DefaultGroup.
seed --create --op <import|export> [--enc_type <aes128 | aes256>] [--storage_group_name <name>]
Where
--op Seeding operation export/import. --enc_type Encryption type. Default value is aes256. --storage_group_name Storage group name. Default value is DefaultGroup
Enter password for seed export: Re-enter password for seed export: Successfully created seed job details.
Adds the container(s) that you want to seed. A new invocation of seed --add_container command needs to be executed for every container that you want to seed.
seed --add_container --name <container name>
Where
--name Seeding export container
Successfully added seed container.
