5.6 HP StorageWorks X9000 File Serving Software User Guide (TA768-96035, June 2011)

source cluster (clusterName) containing the file system to be replicated. Include the -P option
if you do not want to set the host and NIC preferences.
To unexport a file system for remote replication, use the following command:
ibrix_exportcfr –U –f TARGET_FSNAME
To list the remote replication exports, use the following command:
ibrix_exportcfr -l
Identifying host and NIC preferences on the target cluster
To identify the preferred hosts for replication storage and, optionally, a preferred NIC for replication
traffic, use the following command:
ibrix_exportcfrpreference -a -f FSNAME -h HOSTLIST [-n IBRIX_NIC]
When specifying resources, note the following:
• Specify hosts by their host name or IP address. A host is any host on the target cluster that has
the target file system mounted.
• Specify the network using the X9000 Software network name. Enter a valid user NIC or the
cluster NIC. Setting the network preference is optional. If it is not specified, the host name (or
IP) is used to determine the network.
The listed hosts will receive remote replication data via the specified NIC. To increase capacity,
you can expand the number of preferred hosts by executing this command again with another list
of hosts.
You can also use the ibrix_exportcfrpreference command for the following tasks:
• Restore the default preferences for remote replication:
ibrix_exportcfrpreference -D -f FSNAME
• View preferences for remote replication. The output lists the exported file systems and associated
host preferences on this cluster. All preferred hosts/NICs are listed with a corresponding ID
number that can be used in commands to remove preferences.
ibrix_exportcfrpreference -l
• Remove a remote replication preference:
ibrix_exportcfrpreference -r -p PREFERENCE_ID
To obtain the ID for a particular preferred host, list the remote replication preferences using
the -l option.
Configuring and managing replication tasks on the GUI
NOTE: When configuring replication tasks, be sure to following the guidelines described in
“Overview” (page 87).
To view or control replication tasks for a particular file system, select that file system on the GUI
and then click Tasks > Remote Replication in the lower Navigator. The Remote Replication Tasks
tab lists any replication tasks currently running or paused on the file system.
