Delete Replication for a NAS Volume
Deleting replication for a NAS volume is similar to disabling replication for a NAS volume in that it does not disrupt replication operations for
other NAS volumes or the replication partnership between the source and target
FluidFS clusters. After deleting replication, the target NAS
volume becomes a standalone, writable NAS volume. You can delete replication from either the source or target
FluidFS cluster.
Prerequisites
• The target NAS volume must be promoted to a standalone NAS volume.
• You must remove replication schedules for the replication.
Steps
1 In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
2 Click the File System tab.
3 In the File System view, expand NAS Volumes and select a NAS volume.
4 Click the Replications tab.
5 In the Replication Status area, click Delete.
The Delete dialog box opens.
6 Click OK.
Run Replication On Demand
After a replication is created, you can replicate a NAS volume on demand. You can run replication only from the source FluidFS cluster.
1 In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
2 Click the File System tab.
3 In the File System view, expand NAS Volumes and select a NAS volume.
4 Click the Replications tab.
5 In the Replication Status area, click Manual Start.
The Start Manual Replication dialog box opens.
6 Click OK.
Schedule Replication
After a replication is created, you can schedule replication for a NAS volume to run regularly. You can schedule replication only from the
source
FluidFS cluster.
1 In the Storage view, select a FluidFS cluster.
2 Click the File System tab.
3 In the File System view, expand NAS Volumes and select a NAS volume.
4 Click the Replication tab.
5 In the Replication Schedules area, click Create. T
he Create Replication Schedule dialog box opens.
6 In the Schedule Name eld, type a name for the replication schedule.
7 Specify when to run replication:
• To run replication based on a period of time, select the Replicate every checkbox and type the frequency in minutes, hours, days,
or weeks.
• To run replication based on day and time, select the Replicate on checkbox and select one or more days and times.
8 Click OK.
