Establishing the connection
After you have created a replication set, you can establish a connection by connecting the replication set to a target.
1. If you do not know which replication set you will be connecting to the target machine, the repset list command will
display the available replication sets for that source.
2. Connect the replication set to the target by using the connect command.
Command REPSET LIST
Description Lists all replication set names for the currently selected source
Syntax
REPSET LIST
Command CONNECT
Description Establishes a connection between a replication set and a target machine
Syntax
CONNECT <repset> TO <target>
MAP EXACT
| MAP BASE <target_path>
| MAP <source_path> TO <target_path> [,...]
[MIR
ROR | NOMIRROR] [, REPLICATE | NOREPLICATE] [, MONITOR | NOMONITOR]
[, ORPHANS | NOORPHANS] [, COMPRESSION <level>] [CLEARRESTOREREQUIRED]
[ROUTE=<target_IP>]
Options  repset—Name of the replication set
 target—Name of the target, an IP address on the target, or a virtual IP address
 MAP EXACT—Specifies that the replication set data will be sent to the same logical volume on the
target (
c:\data and d:\files is copied to c:\data and d:\files, respectively)
 MAP BASE target_path—Substitute a complete path, including the volume, for target_path and the
data will be replicated to target_path\SrcVolName on the target machine
 MAP source_path TO target_path—Custom location that specifies each directory on the source
and where that data will be copied to on the target machine
 ...—Indicates that the source_path TO target_path option can be used more than once for each
source directory in the replication set
 MIRROR—Automatically initiates a mirror when the connection is established
 NOMIRROR—Does not initiate a mirror when the connection is established
 REPLICATE—Automatically initiates replication when the connection is established
 NOREPLICATE—Does not initiate replication when the connection is established
 MONITOR—Specifies that the target is going to monitor the specified source machine for failover.
The source machine must have already been defined as a monitor machine.
 NOMONITOR—Specifies that the target is not going to monitor the source machine for failover
 ORPHANS—Moves or deletes orphan files on the target
 NOORPHANS—Does not move or delete orphan files on the target
 COMPRESSION level—Enables compression of data being sent to the target at the level specified.
Valid levels are
1 (minimum), 2 (moderate), or 3 (maximum).
 CLEARRESTOREREQUIRED—Clears the restore required flag and initiates the connection
 ROUTE=target_ip—Specifies the IP address on the target that will receive the incoming Storage
