Replication CLI Commands 47
Note: Before editing replication settings (using --enablerep nas, --disablerep
nas), first disable File/Directory Based replication (using --disable
filedirrep), then add and remove targets (using --add nastarget or --
del nastarget).
Checking Readiness on
Source
DEPRECATED: syscli --checkrepready nas --name <nas_share>
This CLI command allows the admin user to check and verify the status of the
NAS share prior to replicating. The output will show the status of the NAS.
DEPRECATED: syscli --checkrepready vtl --name <vtl_name>
This CLI command allows the admin user to check and verify the status of the
VTL prior to replicating. The output will show the status of the VTL.
Aborting Replication of
VTL or NAS
syscli --abortrep vtl --name <VTL_name> [--target <host_name_or_ip>]
syscli --abortrep nas --name <NAS_share_name> [--target
<host_name_or_ip>]
The CLI allows the admin user to abort the current replication of the VTL or NAS.
For the --target option: If the system or the share/partition has two targets
configured, you must use the --target option and you must specify a target IP or
hostname. If the system or the share/partition has no target configured,
invoking the commands will result in error.
Aborting
Synchronization of VTL
or NAS
syscli --abortsync vtl --name <VTL_name> [--target <host_name_or_ip>]
syscli --abortsync nas --name <NAS_share_name> [--target
<host_name_or_ip>]
The CLI allows the admin user to abort the current synchronization of the VTL or
NAS. For the --target option: If the system or the share/partition has two targets
configured, you must use the --target option and you must specify a target IP or
hostname. If the system or the share/partition has no target configured,
invoking the commands will result in error.
Pausing the Replication
Service on the Source
syscli --pause replication [--target <host_name_or_ip>]
The CLI allows the admin user to pause all or a specified active replication
target(s).
CLI command options:
• --pause: Pauses all or a specified active replication targets.
• --target: If specified, pauses the specified replication target; otherwise, the
pause applies to all targets. If the system or the share/partition has two
targets configured, you must use the --target option and you must specify a
target IP or hostname. If the system or the share/partition has no target
configured, invoking the commands will result in error.
