Managing HP X9000 Network Storage System Remote Replication Application Note (TA768-96049, November 2011)

2, but defining a specific snapshot directory as the replication source (for example, /ibfs1/
.snapshot/2011-06-02T030000_hourly).
# ibrix_crr -s -f ifs2 -o -S src1/.snapshot/2011-09-22T053000_hourly -C ibrix02 -F ifs2 -X target3
Submitted CRR operation to background. ID of submitted task: crr-7
Command succeeded!
If you use this method, note the following:
• This approach is prone to user error because of the complexity of the path to the source,
especially when large numbers of snapshots are present.
• You must provide the path to the root of a specific snapshot directory, not the .snapshot
directory itself. Using the earlier example, if /ibfs1/.snapshot is the source, the replication
task will fail.
Monitoring and controlling replication tasks
Use the following command to display status for replication tasks:
# ibrix_crr -i
Continuous Replication Task: crr-2
==================================
Task Summary
============
Task Id : crr-2
Task Type : Continuous Replication
State : RUNNING
Submitted By : root from 15.226.50.151
Source Filesystem : ifs1
Source Directory : root of filesystem
Target Cluster : ibrix02
To control a replication task, first find the task ID:
[root@ibrix01a ~]# ibrix_crr -l
TASK ID TYPE FILE SYSTEM SUBMITTED BY TASK STATUS IS COMPLETED? EXIT STATUS
STARTED AT ENDED AT
------- ---------------------- ----------- ------------------- ----------- ------------- -----------
---------- --------
crr-1 Continuous Replication ifs1 root from Local Host RUNNING No
Aug 18, 2011 10:31:55
Pause the replication task specified with the -n TASKID option:
[root@ibrix01a ~]# ibrix_crr -p -n crr-1
Command succeeded!
[root@ibrix01a ~]# ibrix_crr -l
TASK ID TYPE FILE SYSTEM SUBMITTED BY TASK STATUS IS COMPLETED? EXIT STATUS
STARTED AT ENDED AT
------- ---------------------- ----------- -------------------- ----------- ------------- -----------
--------------------- --------
crr-1 Continuous Replication ifs1 root from Local Host PAUSED No
Aug 18, 2011 10:31:55
Resume the replication task specified with the -n TASKID option:
[root@ibrix01a ~]# ibrix_crr -r -n crr-1
Command succeeded!
[root@ibrix01a ~]# ibrix_crr -l
TASK ID TYPE FILE SYSTEM SUBMITTED BY TASK STATUS IS COMPLETED? EXIT STATUS
STARTED AT ENDED AT
------- ---------------------- ----------- -------------------- ----------- ------------- -----------
-------------------- --------
crr-1 Continuous Replication ifs1 root from Local Host RUNNING No
Aug 18, 2011 10:31:55
Stop a replication task gracefully:
[root@ibrix01a ~]# ibrix_crr -k -n crr-1
Command succeeded!
Using intra-cluster replication
An intra-cluster replication replicates between file systems and/or directories in the same X9000
cluster. You do not need to register the cluster or create replication exports.
On the GUI, start the task on the New Remote Replication Task dialog box.
