ConfiguringaTargetPartitionforCartridgeBasedReplication
Configuring a VTL partition for Cartridge Based Replication enables the automatic replication of cartridges
on the source partition to the target partition. Before you configure a partition on the source system for
Cartridge Based Replication, you must configure a partition on the target system to receive the replicated
data from the source partition.
Note:For information about configuring Cartridge Based Replication on the source system, see
Configuring Directory/File or Cartridge Based Replication on page 141.
To configure a target partition for Cartridge Based Replication:
1. Select the partition and click Edit.
The EditPartitionSettings page displays (see Figure 102 below).

2. Select the EnabletoreceiveCartridgeBasedreplicationdata check box to enable Cartridge
Based Replication for the partition.
Or clear the EnabletoreceiveCartridgeBasedreplicationdata check box to disable Cartridge
Based Replication for the partition.
3. Enter a SyncID in the box.
The Sync ID is used to identify the source partition that will send replicated data to the target partition.
The Sync ID must be identical to the Sync ID of the source partition on the source system.
4. Select an Access option:
l Locked - The partition is not allowed to receive new Cartridge Based Replication data.

If a partition configured for Cartridge Based Replication is locked on the target system, synchronization
jobs may fail on the source system.
