HP StoreAll Storage - Manual (Page 103)

The Server Assignments section allows you to specify server assignments for the export. Check the
box adjacent to Server to use the default assignments. If you choose to assign particular servers
to handle replication requests, select those servers and then, optionally, select the appropriate
NICs.
If the remote cluster does not appear in the selection list for Export To (Cluster), you will need to
register the cluster. Select New to open the Add Remote Cluster dialog box and then enter the
requested information.
The Remote Replication Exports panel lists the replication exports you created for the file system.
Expand Remote Replication Exports in the lower Navigator and select the export to see the
configured server assignments for the export. You can modify or remove the server assignments
and the export itself.
CLI procedure
NOTE: This procedure does not apply to intracluster replication.
Use the following commands to configure the target file system for remote replication:
1. Register the source and target clusters with each other using the ibrix_cluster -r
command if needed. To list the known remote clusters, run ibrix_cluster -l on the source
cluster.
2. Create the export on the target cluster. Identify the target export and associate it with the
source cluster using the ibrix_crr_export command.
3. Identify server assignments for the replication export using the ibrix_crr_nic command.
The default assignments are:
•
Use all servers that have the file system mounted.
•
Use the cluster NIC on each server.
Registering source and target clusters
Run the following command on both the target cluster and the source cluster to register the clusters
with each other. It is necessary to run the command only once per source or target.
ibrix_cluster -r -C CLUSTERNAME -H REMOTE_FM_HOST
CLUSTERNAME is the name of the management console for a cluster.
For the -H option, enter the name or IP address of the host where the remote cluster's management
console is running. For high availability, use the virtual IP address of the management console.
To list clusters registered with the local cluster, use the following command:
ibrix_cluster -l
To unregister a remote replication cluster, use the following command:
ibrix_cluster –d –C CLUSTERNAME
