how do I know if replication is complete?

Hi, I am trying to replicate an iSCSI volume between two DSSV6.
I think the replication is designed so that the source volume can be used during the replication and therefore there is no end of this replication process.

However, for this particular case, I want to make sure the resulting replica is usable. So I actually took the source volume offline (make sure no server is using it) and started the replication. But there is really no way to find out when everything is completely copied over. I watched for the network traffic and when the traffic drops from 250Mbps to almost 0, I guessed that the replication might have finished. However, when I use the iSCSI from the destination volume, I do see the partition by fdisk but when I use the logical volume, I got errors like
> read failed after 0 of 4096 at 98708684800: Input/output error
It seems like the resulting copy is not consistent yet which might indicate that the replication is not yet finished. But how do I know when it is good?
I don't suppose the replication process will reach a finished state on its own, will it?

Thank you very much.

Hi Shi,

To verify that the the replication is completed or Consistent go to the Primary then go to the GUI in Status > Tasks then look for the Volume Replication task to review if it is done.

Hi Todd,

Thanks. I only see in Status->Tasks->Volume Replication the starting of the replication such as

Time Name Type Status Action
2011-03-25 16:08:37 esxi2esx Volume replication OK Started

Is there going to be a end status for the replication at all?
Thanks.

When it states "Consistent" for both servers then it is done.
