Nimble Replication

SteveBerg — Tue, 21 Mar 2023 15:07:51 GMT

Hi - I have a HF20 array that has 5TB of used storage (out of 15TB usable) that I'd like to replicate to a new HF20 at a separate location.

Firstly, how do I go about setting this type of replication up (it will be used for DR only) and should I do the initial replication run with the 2nd HF20 local to the live HF20 so it will run that faster and then move it?

Thanks!!

You will want to set them up using Snapshot Replication as group to group Partners. See the GUI or CLI Adminstration Guide on how to Create a Replication Partner. (The other group name is the Partner name.)

Typically the Management network is used between the two groups. When defining the partners you can specify one or more throttle windows to limit the replication traffic on specified days.
