Creating a Replication Schedule

Replication schedules can only be set on individual replication-enabled source containers. To create a Replication

schedule on a replication-enabled source container, complete the following:

NOTE: If there is no Replication schedule set, but there is pending data that can be replicated, replication will run

when it detects the following: 1) there are no active data ingests, and 2) five minutes of system idle time have

elapsed since the last data file ingest completed.

NOTE: The Replication Schedule page displays the current DR Series system time zone and current timestamp

(using this format: US/Pacific, Tue Oct 28 14:53:02 2012).

To schedule Replication operations on your system, complete the following:

1.

Select Schedules → Replication Schedule.
The Replication Schedule page is displayed.

2.

Click to select the replication-enabled source container in the Container drop-down list.
The Replication schedule table is displayed with columns that identify the week day, start time, and stop time.

3.

Click Schedule to create a new schedule (or click Edit Schedule to modify an existing Replication schedule).
The Set Replication Schedule page is displayed.

4.

Select (or modify) the Start Time and Stop Time setpoint values using the Hour and Minutes pull-down lists to

create a Replication schedule. For an example, see

Daily Replication Schedule Example

and

Weekly Replication

Schedule Example

.

NOTE: You must set a corresponding Stop Time for every Start Time in each Replication schedule you set.
The DR Series system will not support any Replication schedule that does not contain a Start Time/Stop Time
pair of setpoints (daily or weekly).
