Configuring Synchronous Replication from DataSpace

Prev Next

DataSpace provides a quick and easy flow for configuring sync replication.    

Prerequisites:

  • All participating clusters have replication virtual IP pools configured.Managing Virtual IP Pools

  • All participating clusters, including the local cluster, are connected to DataSpace. Connecting Clusters to DataSpace

  1. In the VAST Web UI, open the DataSpace page (select DataSpace from the left navigation menu.)

  2. From the Add New dropdown, select Create new Sync Replication.

  3. In the Add Source/Primary dialog, select the cluster from which you want to replicate data from the Cluster dropdown.

  4. From the Tenant dropdown, select the tenant where the path that you want to replicate resides.

  5. In the Path field, enter the path that you want to replicate. This must be an existing path on the cluster.

  6. Click Add Source.

    The configuration you just specified for the source (origin) peer is now displayed as Source.

  7. Under Destinations, click Define Destination.

  8. In the Add Destination/Secondary dialog, make sure the Mode is set to Sync Replication.

  9. Select the destination cluster from the Cluster dropdown.

  10. From the Tenant dropdown, select the tenant to which you want to replicate the source path on the destination cluster.

  11. In the Path field, enter the path to which you want to replicate the data on the selected tenant. This must be a new path that doesn't exist yet on the destination tenant.

  12. Click Add Destination.

    The destination is added.

  13. For each additional cluster that you want to add as a destination peer, click Add Another and configure it as another destination peer.

  14. Click Create.

    The process of creating the replication that you have configured now begins. The process includes several tasks.  You can monitor the progress from the Tasks tab (within the DataSpace page).
