Configuring source and target settings
The "source" server is the VTS server where the original virtual tapes reside. This server
replicates tapes out to remote (“target”) servers, which store the replicated tapes in a
designated directory. You can also configure a server to be an "intermediate" server, which
will host replicated tapes and then replicate them to other remote servers.
Note Verify that the network servers (firewall, VPN, and so on) between the source and
target servers are configured to allow replication traffic; ports 22, 443, and 4567 are
required.
Use the web interface to configure source and target settings, and refer to the online help
provides in-depth information about each required step in the process.
