Seed
The DR Series Seed operations allow for exporting data on the source to a portable seed device to then import the seed
data to the primary target, and, if required, the secondary target as well. Replication seeding is an alternative to using
network bandwidth for the initial re-synchronization of the source and target(s). After the target(s) are seeded,
continuous replication can be started, which will keep the target(s) up to date by sending only unique data. The DR
Series CLI commands support the following operations:
• Create a job to perform seeding export or import.
• Delete an existing seeding export or import job.
• Specify containers for seeding export.
• Add a device to be used for seeding.
• Remove a device which is already added for seeding.
• Start seeding process(export/import).
• Stop running seeding process(export/import).
• Start cleaner to process seed ZL logs on target.
NOTE: The seeding device must be a CIFS share: a USB device connected to a Windows or Linux system and
shared for import as a CIFS— mounted folder.
