NOTE: If the cluster uses an agile management console configuration, specify the virtual cluster
name and the IP address of the virtual interface.
The GUI configures the replication export with the default target hosts and network interface
preferences. To specify your own preferences, use the ibrix_exportcfrpreference command.
For more information, see
“Identifying host and NIC preferences on the target cluster” (page 91) .
CLI procedure
NOTE: This procedure does not apply to intracluster replication.
Use the following commands to configure the target file system for remote replication:
1. Register the source and target clusters with the ibrix_cluster -r command if needed.
To list the known remote clusters, run ibrix_cluster -l on the source cluster.
2. Export the target file system. Identify the target file system for the replication and associate it
with the source cluster using the ibrix_exportcfr command.
3. Identify host and NIC preferences on the target cluster using the
ibrix_exportcfrpreference
command.
Registering source and target clusters
To register the clusters manually, use the following command:
ibrix_cluster -r -C CLUSTERNAME -H REMOTE_FM_HOST
CLUSTERNAME is the name of the management console for a cluster.
If the cluster is using an agile management console configuration, specify the clusterName
displayed by the ibrix_fm_tune -l command, and enter the IP address of the cluster VIF.
NOTE: For each remote replication pair, cluster A must be registered with cluster B, and cluster
B must be separately registered with cluster A.
To deregister a remote replication cluster, use the following command:
ibrix_cluster –d –C CLUSTERNAME
To list clusters registered on this management console, use the following command:
ibrix_cluster -l
Exporting the target file system
To create a mapping between the source cluster and the target file system where the replicated
data will be stored, execute the following command on the target cluster:
ibrix_exportcfr –f FSNAME [-p DIRECTORY] –C REMOTE_CLUSTER [—P]
FSNAME is the target file system to be exported. The –p option can be used to export a directory
located under the root of the specified file system. The -C REMOTE_CLUSTER option specifies the
