After creating the file and entering the replication information, run the following
command to omport the configuration file into the mxds datastore.
# rplconfig -i <filename>
NOTE:
An error will be reported if ssh connections to the destination cluster were previously
made for the virtual host IP address. Remove those entries from /root/.ssh/
known_hosts on the node. See Correct the known.hosts file, page 256 for more
information.
Duplicate the source filesystem layout on the destination cluster
You may want the filesystem layout on the destination cluster to match the layout on
the source cluster. To do this you will need to create the appropriate filesystems under
the target on the destination cluster. For example, you could have two PSFS filesystems,
/mnt/poly0/ and /mnt/poly1/, on the source cluster. On the destination cluster,
create and mount the same PSFS filesystems: /mnt/poly0/ and /mnt/poly1/.
Then, in the replication configuration file, add an entry for each filesystem and use
/ as the target.
replicate /mnt/poly0/ 99.30.252.40 /
replicate /mnt/poly1/ 99.30.252.40 /
The replicated files will now be placed in the appropriate filesystem on the destination
cluster.
How replication works
When replication has been configured, the rplmonitor program manages and
coordinates the replication components running on the nodes in the source cluster.
It is started by HP Scalable NAS and has two major roles: to start the rplwatch
process (which starts worker threads) and then restart the worker threads if necessary,
