2. Select four files from your source and record the file name, date, time, and file size
for each file.
3. On your target, locate those same four files that you just identified on your source.
The files on the target match the files on the source.
4. Back on your source, view the contents of one of your files contained in your
replication set and note the file contents.
5. On your target, view that same file that you just viewed on the source. The file
contents on the target match the file contents on the source.
6. Highlight your source in the left pane of the Replication Console.
7. Locate the Replication Status and Sent (Bytes) columns in the right pane.
8. Tile your Replication Console so that you can see it while still having access to
your desktop.
9. On your source, edit the file that you viewed above. Save your changes, and watch
the Replication Console statistics as the file change causes replication to occur.
10. Modify the other three files so that the date, time, and/or size is updated, and again
watch the Replication Console statistics as the file changes cause replication to
occur. While Storage Mirroring Recover is actively replicating, the status will be
Replicating. When there is no replication activity, the status is Ready.
11. Use the horizontal scroll bars to display additional replication statistics.
● Sent (Bytes)—The total number of mirror and replication bytes that have
been sent during this connection
● Queued Replication (Bytes)—The total number of replication bytes that
remain in the source queue
● Sent Replication (Bytes)—The total number of replication bytes that have
been sent during this connection
● Last File Touched—Identifies the last file that Storage Mirroring Recover
transmitted to the target
Monitoring a data workload contains complete details on all of the Replication
Console statistics.
Note:
Many user applications typically save an entire file even though only a portion
of the file may have changed. Therefore, the replication statistics will show the
entire file being transmitted, not just the changed data. To confirm that
replication only transmits the changed segments of files, you must use an
application, such as a database application, or a command, such as the echo
command, to save only the changed portions of a file.
You may notice your Replication Status toggle between Replicating and Ready as it
continues processing the file changes, when your Replication Status stays at Ready,
