Data Replica

tion Flow

The bottom part of the Replication view displays the flow of replicated data. You can also suspend

or resume the

replication process from this area.

Table 37 Data Replication Flow

Feature

Description

Domain

The domain name and group ID of the domain being replicated, an d the following

information:

• The IP addresses of the smart cells being duplicated, the status of the replication,

and the number of stored and indexed documents b eing copied.

A check icon indicates normal operation.

An X icon indicates that replication failed the last time it was tried.

An ! icon indicates replication is being r etried.

• An arrow showing the direction of data. Normally, the direction is left to right,

from the primary system to the replicated system. In a failover situation, the

direction is right to left, as the data replicated on the replicated system is being

used to restore the group on the primary system.

• The number of stored and indexed documents that have been copied to the

replicated domain.

• The percentage of data that has been copied to the replicated domain.

Suspend/Resume To stop replication, click Suspend. Replication will stop after the current batch

is replicated.

To start replication, click Resume. The batch that would have been replicated next

when replication stopped will be replicated.

Smart cell cloning

Use the Cloning view to show the status of current and past cloning operations, and to clone a smart

cell. You can clone a smart cell if its mirror smart cell is SUSPENDED, DEAD, or FA ILED. (See Smart cell

life cycle states on page 23.)

Cloning a smart cell copies all its information to another smart cell that is in the FREE state to give the

smar

t cell a new, viable mirror. Cloning operations can take a long time (as much as a day), depending

on th

e am ount of information cloned.

When you access the Cloning view, PCC searches for ongoing cloning operations and loads the current

data. Only one smart cell can b e cloned at a time, so you see the progress of any ongoing cloning

operation.
