Description
Displays the current status of all existing replication containers (and respective roles) in the DR Series system.
Result
Container Name Replication Role Status
backup Source, Target Enabled
acme-59 Source Enabled
acmeStorage1 Source Enabled
acmeStorage2 Source Enabled
acmeStorage3 Target Enabled
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>.
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.

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. |
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>
Disables replication on a container:
replication --stop --name backup --role source
