problem setting up volume replication

[timshotter]

hi guys, i have followed the guide provided by open-e for setting up volume replication but am having a problem

i have two sans, x.x.x.145 (san1) and x.x.x.146 (san2) i have set them up as per the guide however on san1 in replication tasks I cannot see any volumes in the destination source dropdown box.

What could be causing this?

thanks in advance

A few things to check:

valid dns
valid gateway
can you ping the other Appliance from the console?

can you try enabling the WAN check box, and see if shows up then.

1) Check that the volume sizes are the same size.

2) Check that they are both either Block IO or File IO as they have to be the same

3) Check that the Destination is not still running the iSCSI initializing (better to use Block IO).

4) Can you ping from the Console tools to the Destination IP?

thanks guys for your fast repsonse.

Both drives are File I/O and 256gb each san1 is set to source in replication and san2 to destination

i can ping from the console fine.

any more ideas?

it may sound strange... but try it and let me know.

Try to delete the destination volume and re-create it again.
