For replications to the same cluster and file system, the Target Settings dialog box asks only for
the target directory. This field is required.

Specifying a target directory

Specifying a target directory is optional for remote cluster and same cluster/different file system
replications. It is required for same cluster/same file system replications. For example, you could
configure the following replication, which does not include a target directory:

Source directory: /srcFS/a/b/c

Exported file system and directory on target: /destFS/1/2/3

The contents of /srcFS/a/b/c are replicated to destFs/1/2/3/{contents_under_c}.

If you also specify the target directory a/b/c, the replication goes to /destFs/1/2/3/a/b/
c{contents_under_c}

.

IMPORTANT:

If you specify a target directory, be sure that it does not overlap with a previous

replication using the same target export.

Pausing or resuming a replication task

To pause a task, select it on the Remote Replication Tasks panel and click Pause. When you pause
a task, the status changes to PAUSED. Pausing a task that involves continuous data capture does
not stop the data capture. You must allocate space on the disk to avoid running out of space
because the data is captured but not moved. To resume a paused replication task, select the task
and click Resume. The status of the task then changes to RUNNING and the task continues from the
point where it was paused.

Stopping a replication task

To stop a task, select that task on the Remote Replication Tasks panel and click Stop. To view
stopped tasks, select Inactive Tasks from the lower Navigator. You can delete one or more tasks,
or see detailed information about the selected task.

Configuring and managing replication tasks from the CLI

NOTE:

When configuring replication tasks, be sure to following the guidelines described in

“Overview” (page 178)

.

Starting a remote replication task to a remote cluster

Use the following command to start a continuous or run-once replication task to a remote cluster.
The command is executed from the source cluster.

ibrix_crr -s -f SRC_FSNAME [-o] [-S SRCDIR] -C TGT_CLUSTERNAME -F TGT_FSNAME [-X TGTEXPORT] [-P TGTDIR] [-R]
[-e EXCLUDE_PATTERNS]
