Description

 

 

 

Automated Online Datastore

 

Enable Automated Online Datastore Synchronization. Specify this option to enable

Settings

 

automated data store synchronization. Data store synchronization ensures that each data

 

 

store in your network has warm data for maximum optimization. All operations occur in

 

 

the background and do not disrupt operations on any of the systems.

 

 

There are the following phases in synchronization:

 

 

Catchup. Copies data that is already on the master to the backup HP EFS WAN

 

 

Accelerator. This process stops when all the old data from the master is copied to the

 

 

backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

 

 

Keepup. Runs continuously copying new data that the master appliance encounters to

 

 

the backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

 

 

IMPORTANT: The HP EFS WAN Accelerators must be the same model; models

 

 

running different versions of the software will not synchronize (for example v2.x to 3.x).

 

 

Synchronization does not guarantee that all data objects are replicated—synchronization

 

 

runs in the background, if the HP EFS WAN Accelerator is under load, all data may not

 

 

be replicated.

 

 

NOTE: If you are setting up automated data store synchronization for the first time, the

 

 

HP EFS WAN Accelerator service is halted on the backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator.

 

 

You must restart the HP EFS WAN Accelerator service on backup HP EFS WAN

 

 

Accelerators. If you restart the service with a clean data store you must shutdown the

 

 

backup HP EFS WAN Accelerator, power it off, and power it on.

 

 

NOTE: In out-of-path configurations, you must designate an HP EFS WAN Accelerator

 

 

as a backup appliance, either by enabling failover support or by designating it as an out-

 

 

of-path backup appliance, to implement data store synchronization.

 

 

 

 

 

Current Appliance is the. Select Master or Backup from the drop-down list. You must

 

 

specify the primary IP address for the master and backup appliance.

 

 

IMPORTANT: If you have multiple bypass cards installed in your appliance you must

 

 

specify the inpath0_0 interface.

 

 

 

 

 

Other Appliance’s In-path IP Address. Specify the backup or master HP EFS WAN

 

 

Accelerator IP address. You must specify the primary IP address for the master and

 

 

backup appliance.

 

 

You must specify the primary (or AUX if you have enabled this option) IP address for the

 

 

HP EFS WAN Accelerator. For detailed information, see “Setting the Primary Interface”

 

 

on page 52.

 

 

IMPORTANT: If you have multiple bypass cards installed in your appliance you must

 

 

specify the inpath0_0 interface.

 

 

 

 

 

Synchronization Port. Specify the port number for the HP EFS WAN Accelerator from

 

 

which you want to replicate data. The default value is 7744.

 

 

 

 

 

Reconnection interval. Specify the number of seconds. The default value is 30.

 

 

 

5. Click Apply to apply your settings to the running configuration. (Apply your

 

 

settings to test a new configuration before saving them permanently.)

 

6. Click Save to save your settings permanently or click Reset to return the settings

 

 

to their previous values.
