l Failback a partition to the source system (see Performing a Failback For a Share on the next page).
l Delete a received snapshot (see Deleting a Snapshot on page 150).
Note:The target system will retain up to 10 replication snapshots (default setting) for each replicated
partition. Once 10 snapshots have been saved, the oldest snapshot is deleted to make room for each
new snapshot that is received. (To change the maximum number of snapshots retained for each
partition, see Changing the Maximum Number of Snapshots on page 276).
SnapshotsList
The SnapshotsList displays all available snapshots that have been received from configured replication
sources. Snapshots are grouped by NAS Share. To see all available snapshots for a partition, click the plus
icon [+] next to the share name.
The SnapshotsList displays the following information about each snapshot:
ShareName The name of the share.
SourceDXi The hostname of the system that the snapshot was sent from.
Started The time the most recent replication job was started.
Finished The time the most recent replication job finished.
Status The status of the most recent replication job (see Replication and Synchronization
Status on page 139). Click the status to display detailed information about the most
recent replication job.
Note:Click a column heading to sort the rows in the table by that column. Click the column heading
again to reverse the sort order.
RecoveringaShare
Recover a NAS share if the source system is unavailable and you need to access the share (for example, to
continue performing backups). When you recover a share, you select a received snapshot. The DXi6900
uses the snapshot to recreate the share on the target system just as it was at the point in time when the
snapshot was saved.
Note:Before recovering a share, you must enable CIFS/SMB on the DXi (see Windows Domain on
page 212). Also, if the DXi is not using Active Directory, you must configure at least one workgroup user
to own recovered CIFS/SMB shares (see Share Access on page 214).
To recover a share:
