Seed a ReadyDR Job
When a ReadyDR job first runs, all of the data on the share or LUN must be transferred to the destination.
For large shares or LUNs, transfering this much data over the network can take a long time.You can eliminate
this large initial network transfer by seeding the job by transferring the data using removable media.
If you seed a ReadyDR job, it must be seeded before the job runs the first time. When you create the job,
you can select the Export seed for this job checkbox to stop the job before it runs.You can then create
the seed archive. After importing the seed archive on the destination device, you restart the job.
You create a seed by exporting the share or LUN after you create the job. For more information about
creating a seed file, see Monitor and Change ReadyDR Jobs on page 262.
Create a ReadyDR Job
A ReadyDR backup job backs up the snapshots on a share or LUN. The destination must be a ReadyDR
share, which is created when you create the job.
Before you create a ReadyDR job between a local and remote system, you must download the public key
for the system on which you are creating the job, and import that key to the other device. If you log in to the
other system over HTTPS from the system creating the job, the systems exchange the key for you, otherwise
you must manually exchange the keys before you create the job. For information about exchanging the key,
see Load System Access Key Before Using ReadyDR on page 258.
The initial data transfer in a ReadyDR job transfers all of the data in the share or LUN. If this transfer occurs
over a network, it might take a long time if the network is slow. During job creation you can create a seed
archive file, copy it to removable media, and import it to the destination, and avoid the initial network transfer.
For information about seeding, see Seed a ReadyDR Job on page 259.
A destination LUN is always a thin LUN, even if the source LUN is a thick LUN. For
information about thick and thin LUNs, see Thin and Thick Provisioning on page 84.
