Displaying the Replication Configuration for a Volume

To display the replication configuration and status for a volume, click:

Volumes > volume_name > Replication tab

The Volume Replication – Volume Replicas window appears (Figure 19: Volume Replication – Volume Replicas ).

Figure 19: Volume Replication – Volume Replicas

The Replication Summary panel shows the following information about the volume:

• Replication Settings – Partner that is storing the volume’s replicas, the size of the replica reserve on the partner, and the size of the local replication reserve on the local group.
• Status – Whether failback replication is enabled, the timestamp of the failback snapshot stored on the primary group (establishes the failback baseline for the volume, which is the point in time at which the primary and secondary groups are synchronized), and the size of any pending data transfers.
• Replication Schedules – How many schedules exist, how many are running currently, and the time of the next scheduled replication.

The Remote Replicas panel shows the replicas in the volume’s replica set and the status of the individual replicas. Each replica is identified by the date and time the replication operation started. Select the replica set or a replica to display related tasks in the Activities panel.

In the Remote Replicas panel, click Replication History to show details about each replication operation, including when it started, the duration of the replication, and the size and speed of the data transfer. The duration includes the amount of time during which replication was paused or the network was down.

Note: If replication operations are taking too long, be sure you have adequate network bandwidth between the groups, in addition to full IP routing. A slow network link may result in long replication times.
