3. If it is not already selected, select the EnableReplication check box to enable replication for the share
or partition.
4. Select the EnableDirectory/FileorCartridgeBasedReplicationtotarget check box to enable
Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication for the share or partition.
Or clear the EnableDirectory/FileorCartridgeBasedReplicationtotarget check box to disable
Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication for the share or partition.
5. Enter a SyncIDin the box.
The SyncID is used to identify the target share or partition that will receive replicated data from the
source share or partition. The SyncIDmust be identical to the SyncID of the target share or partition
on the target system.
The SyncID must contain no more than 32 characters (NAS share) or 12 characters (VTL partition)
and can contain only alphanumeric characters, underscores, and hyphens. (An underscore or hyphen
must not be the first character.)
Note:If you are performing Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication with a system running a
DXi software version prior to 2.3, you may need to change the SyncID on the system running pre-
2.3 software to match the above SyncID name restrictions.
6. Select the check box for each replication target you want to replicate the share or partition to. (You must
select at least one target.) When the share or partition is replicated, its data will be sent to all selected
targets.
Note:Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication will be configured for all selected targets. You
cannot configure one share or partition for multiple replication types.
7. Click Apply.
Note:After you configure a share or partition for Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication, you
should synchronize it to ensure it is in sync with the target share or partition (see Synchronizing a Share
or Partition on the next page).
