6.0 HP X9000 File Serving Software File System User Guide (TA768-96043, October 2011)

1. Stop write traffic to the remote site.
2. Set up Run-Once remote replication, with the remote site acting as the source and the local
site acting as the destination.
3. When the Run-Once replication is complete, restore shares to their original configuration on
the local site, and verify that clients can access the shares.
4. Redirect write traffic to the local site.
Troubleshooting remote replication
Continuous remote replication fails when a private network is used
Continuous remote replication will fail if the configured cluster interface and the corresponding
cluster Virtual Interface (VIF) for the management console are in a private network on either the
source or target cluster. By default, continuous remote replication uses the cluster interface and the
Cluster VIF (the ibrixinit –C and –v options, respectively) for communication between the
source cluster and the target cluster. To work around potential continuous remote replication
communication errors, it is important that the ibrixinit -C and -v arguments correspond to
a public interface and a public cluster VIF, respectively. If necessary, the ibrix_crr_nic command
can be used to change the server assignments (the server/NICs pairs that handle remote replication
requests).
