Abandoning an Outstanding Seed Drive
If you create a seed drive with the intent to consume it on the target core but choose
not to send it to the remote location, a link for the Outstanding Seed Drive remains
on the source core replication tab. In this case, you may want to abandon the
outstanding seed drive in favor different or more current seed data.
Complete the steps in the following procedure to abandon an outstanding seed
drive.
To abandon an outstanding seed drive
1. On the source core, open the AppAssure 5 Core Console, and then click the
Replication tab.
2. On the replication tab, click Outstanding Seed Drives (#).
The Outstanding seed drives section appears. It includes the name of the remote
target core, the date and time on which the seed drive was created, and the data
range of the recovery points included on the seed drive.
3. Under Outstanding seed drives, click the drop-down menu for the drive you want
to abandon, and then click Abandon.
The Outstanding Seed Drives window appears.
4. On the Outstanding Seed Drives window, click Yes to confirm.
The seed drive is removed.
If no more seed drives exist on the source core, the next time you visit the Replication
tab, the Outstanding Seed Drives (#) link and Outstanding seed drives section are
removed.
Monitoring Replication
When replication is set up, you can monitor the status of replication tasks for the
source and target cores. You can refresh status information, view replication details,
and more.
To monitor replication
1. In the Core Console, click the Replication tab.
This procedure removes the link to the outstanding drive from the AppAssure 5 Core Console on
the source core. It does not remove the drive from the storage location on which it is saved.
