Creating Disk Key Replication

Note Only the disk keys using DKR are replicated. Data is replicated by third- party software.

Detailed Steps

To create disk key replication, follow these steps:

1. In DCNM-SAN Web Client, click the SME tab.

2. Select Clusters in the navigation pane. Click and expand on the desired source and destination clusters.

3. Click Disk Replication in the information pane. The create wizard is displayed.

4. Click Create. The Disk Key Relationship screen is displayed.

5. Select the type of replication relationship Mirror or Snapshot. Select the source and the destination disk. Click Next.

Note The source disks and the destination disks are displayed based on the cluster that is selected.

6. Click Next. The Confirmation screen is displayed.

The disk replication successful message is displayed showing the Replication Status as Disabled.

Note Whenever a disk key replication is created, by default the disk key replication status is always Disabled.
All the relationships are stored in the KMC database. If the KMC database is down, you will not be able to see any relationships.
