Modifying a replication set
Storage Mirroring allows you to make modifications to a replication set when you want to change the data you wish to protect.
This allows you to add, remove, or modify any replication set rules without having to create a new replication set.
1. In the left pane, highlight the replication set you want to modify and expand the volume and directory levels as needed.
2. Modify any items defined through the main Management Console window by marking or clearing the volume, drive,
directory, or file check boxes.
3. Modify any items defined through the Replication Set Properties dialog box by right-clicking the replication set name and
selecting Properties.
a. Edit an existing rule by highlighting it, selecting Edit, changing the Include, Exclude, or Recurse sub-directories
attributes; defining a new path; or specifying a new file or wild card. Click
OK when the modifications are complete.
b. Remove a rule by highlighting it and selecting Remove.
c. Add a rule as described in Creating a replication set using wild cards and direct rule entry on page 5-6.
4. After updating the rules for this replication set, right-click the new replication set icon and select Save. A saved
replication set icon will change from red to black.
Renaming and copying replication sets
To rename or copy a replication set, left-click once on a highlighted replication set name to edit the field. Specify a unique
name and press Enter. The process is similar to renaming a folder in Windows Explorer. If the original replication set has not
been saved, the new name replaces the original name. If the original replication set is saved, the new name creates a copy of
the original replication set.
Deleting a replication set
To delete a replication set, right-click the replication set icon and select Delete or press the Delete key on the keyboard.
NOTE: If you save changes to a connected replication set, it is recommended that you perform a mirror to guarantee
data integrity between the source and target machines. A dialog box will appear allowing you to choose to
initiate a mirror immediately.
NOTE: If a replication set is not currently connected to a target, you can delete that replication set. After a
source/target connection has been established, a replication set cannot be deleted until the source and target
have been disconnected. To disconnect a source and target, see
Disconnecting a connection on page 6-14.
