Thread: Replication NAS volumes

  1. #1

    Default Replication NAS volumes

    I am a little confused about NAS volume replication.

    We have 2 Open-E 16TB servers both with 12x 750Gb disks.

    What i want is that every volume, in our case all NAS volumes, is realtime replicated to the 2nd server.

    I have seen volume replication in volume manager and replication in Maintenance -> backup.

    Can anybody explain to me what i have to do to mirror server1 to server2 realtime?

    Thanks.

    Helllooooo,

    The volume replication is for iSCSI and the data replication is for NAS volumes.

    Here what I use for the NAS repl.:

    Set the Destination Server first.
    path : /lv0000/www
    share name : /www
    Enable the Data replication agent:
    CONFIGURATION -> NAS settings -> Function: Data replication agent.
    Then enable the Data replication agent for the share:
    SETUP -> NAS resources -> Shares -> [share_name] -> Function: Data replication agent settings.


    nas1: (Source Server)
    path : /lv0000/www
    share name : /www

    Assign Snapshot to lv0000 (located in Volume Manager)
    Go to Maintenance / Backup / Data Replication
    Select Snapshot (lv0000)
    Set Data Replication schedule (Now, Interval or scheduled)

    we have set the volume replication also for our NAS-share. so I´m a little bit confused now, doesn´t the volume replication also works for a NAS-Volume?

    For as far as i have seen now Volume replication worsk on volumes like iSCSI. Data replication works on NAS volumes.
