Replication

To allow DR Series system replication operations, ensure that TCP ports 9904, 9911, 9915, and 9916 are enabled. For more
information about supported ports for the DR Series system, see the

Dell DR Series System Administrator Guide

.

The Replication DR Series system CLI command and its options allow you to manage the status of all current replication
relationships and tasks on a system by:

Displaying the current replication process status information

Creating and defining new replication links or relationships to containers

Deleting specific replication links

Starting and stopping the replication process between source and target containers

Limiting the bandwidth consumed during replication

Resynchronizing replication between source and target containers

Troubleshooting replication connection issues

Software versions 3.1 and later support cascaded replication, which involves a Source, Primary Target, and Secondary
Target. Each relationship must be set up individually using two sets of replication add commands.

NOTE: You can set a replication schedule for daily and weekly replication operations. For details, see

schedule --

add --day <day of the week> [--start_time <hh:mm>] [-- stop_time <hh:mm>] [--cleaner] [--replication]

.
