Modifying a Replication Partner

You can modify the configuration of a replication partner. For example, you may need to delegate additional space to the partner or modify partner settings if the partner’s group name or group IP address has changed.

To modify a replication partner, click:

Replication partners > partner_name

The Replication Partner Status window appears. When you click a task link in the Activities panel, dialog boxes will be displayed, similar to those displayed when configuring a partner, as described in Configuring Replication Partners.

You can do one or more of the following:

• Modify partner settings. Click Modify settings and change the partner name, IP address, description, and contact information, as needed. Click OK to apply the changes.
• Modify the space delegated to the partner. Click Modify delegated space and enter the amount of space to delegate to the partner. The Space Utilization table shows how pool space is currently being used and how much space will be used with the new amount of delegated space. If the new delegated space will exceed the capacity of the pool, the table cell showing free pool space will turn red.

You cannot decrease the space delegated to a partner below what is currently being used to store the partner’s replicas.

You cannot change the delegated space pool.

• Modify mutual authentication passwords. Click Modify passwords and change the passwords. Click OK to apply the changes.

You may need to make the reciprocal change on the partner by logging in to the partner group and modifying the passwords.
