Replication view
Note: This view is available only if a replicated system is configured.
Use this view to monitor and start or stop replicating a domain on a remote
system. Replication status is updated after each polling cycle, so it could be
up to 5 minutes after you start replication before you see results on the graph
of replication rates. Errors and warnings, however, are displayed as soon as
they happen on the system. (The
Replication view is unavailable until at least
one domain on the PCC host system is configured for replication.)
A failed replicated smart cell triggers allocation of new primary and secondary
smart cells on the replica site. When the original site returns to service, it
automatically becomes the replica site for new primary and secondary smart
cells. Depending on configuration, some administration may be necessary for
continued data storage. Specifically, if the system uses Selective Archiving,
the replica site mining servers must be configured and enabled to start
mining to the replica site.
If the primary site is not available for queries, end users must enter address
of the replica site, instead of primary site, in their browsers.
