4.4 Changing the test data to cause replication

In order to test replication, you need to change the data contained in your replication set. This

includes modifying existing files, creating new files, deleting files, and changing permissions and

attributes. However, before changing these files, you will need to do a little bit of preparation

work for the verification section.

1. From your client machine, browse through the directories of your s: drive.

2. On your target, share the new directory that was created by the HP OpenView Storage

Mirroring connection. Call the share testshare.

net share testshare=d:\testdata

3. From your client machine, map t: to testshare on your target.

net use t: \\source\testshare

4. Browse through your t: drive and verify that it is identical to the s: drive.

5. Select four files from your s: drive and record the file information specified in the

following table.

6. On your s: drive, view the contents of one of your files from the table above. Make notes

here of the file contents, if necessary.
