Reference Guide

• Creating and defining new replication links or relationships to containers
• Deleting specific replication links
• Starting and stopping the replication process between source and target containers
• Limiting the bandwidth consumed during replication
• Resynchronizing replication between source and target containers
• Troubleshooting replication connection issues
Software versions 3.1 and later support cascaded replication, which involves a Source, Primary Target, and Secondary
Target. Each relationship must be set up individually using two sets of replication add commands.
NOTE: You can set a replication schedule for daily and weekly replication operations. For details, see schedule --
add --day <day of the week> [--start_time <hh:mm>] [-- stop_time <hh:mm>] [--cleaner] [--replication].
Replication Command Usage
This topic introduces the replication command usage:
• replication --show [options]
• replication --add --name --role --peer [options]
• replication --update --name --role --peer [options]
• replication --delete --name --role [options]

NOTE: If you specify a command without supplying the expected value or option, you will be prompted to provide
the correct value or option.
replication --show [--name <name>] [--role <source | target>] [--verbose] [--limits]
