Replicator Service Entries

The Registry path that contains entries for the SunLink Server Directory Replicator service is as follows:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Replicator\Parameters

• ExportList REG_SZ Character string

  Lists an unlimited number of servers or domains that receive notices when the export directory is updated. These servers subsequently replicate from the export server. If no value is specified, the export server sends a notice to its domain. Separate multiple names with a semicolon (;). This value is ignored if the value of the Replicate key is 2 (Import).

  Do not use the UNC name when you specify a computer name; that is, do not include two backslashes (\\) at the beginning of the name.

  Default: (local domain name)

• ExportPath REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ Path name

  Specifies the export path. All files to be replicated must be in a subdirectory of the export directory. This value is ignored if the value of the Replicate key is set to 2 (Import).

  Default: C:\var\opt\lanman\shares\asu\repl\export

• GuardTime REG_DWORD 0 to one-half of Interval

  Sets the number of minutes an export directory must be stable (no changes to any files) before import servers can replicate its files.

  This option applies only to directories with tree integrity.

  Default: 2

• ImportList REG_SZ Character string

  Lists an unlimited number of servers or domains from which files and directories are to be replicated. If no value is specified, files and directories will be replicated from the server's domain. Separate multiple names with a semicolon (;). This value is ignored if the value of the Replicate key is 1 (Export).

  Do not use the UNC name when you specify a computer name; that is, do not include two backslashes (\\) at the beginning of the name.

• ImportPath REG_SZ or REG_EXPAND_SZ Pathname

  Specifies the path on the import server to receive replicas from the export servers. This value is ignored if the value of the Replicate key is 1 (Export).

  Default: C:\var\opt\lanman\shares\asu\repl\import

• Interval REG_DWORD At least twice as large as GuardTime value

  Specifies how often in minutes an export server checks the replicated directories for changes. Used in conjunction with the Pulse key. Ignored on import servers. The value of Interval must be at least twice as large as the value of GuardTime. Otherwise, the Replicator service will not start.

  Default: 5

• MaxFilesInDirectory REG_DWORD 0 - infinity

  Specifies the maximum number of files in an import directory that can be replicated.

  Default: 2000

• Pulse REG_DWORD 1 - 10

  Specifies in minutes how often the export server repeats the last update notice. These repeat notices are sent even when no changes have occurred, so that import servers that missed the original update notice can get the notice. The server waits the equivalent of (Pulse * Interval) minutes before sending each repeat notice.

  Default: 3

• Random REG_DWORD 1 - 120

  Specifies the maximum time in seconds that the import servers can wait before requesting an update. An import server uses the export server's value of Random to generate a random number of seconds (from 0 to the value of Random). The import server waits this long after receiving an update notice before requesting the replica from the export server. This prevents the export server from being overloaded by simultaneous update requests.

  Default: 60

• Replicate REG_DWORD 1, 2, or 3

  Specifies the Replicator action, according to the following:

  1 = Export - The server maintains a master tree to be replicated.

  2 = Import - The server receives update notices from the export server.

  3 = Both - The server is to export and import directories or files.

  Default: Varies with role of server

• TryUser REG_DWORD 0 or 1

  Specifies whether the import server should try to update directories when a user name is logged on locally.

  Default: 0

• UnixDirectoryGroup REG_SZ Character string

  Specifies the Solaris system group account name for replicated directories.

  Default: DOS

• UnixDirectoryOwner REG_SZ Character string

  Specifies the Solaris system user account name for replicated directories.

  Default: lmxadmin

• UnixFileGroup REG_SZ Character string

  Specifies the Solaris system group account name for replicated files.

  Default: DOS

• UnixFileOwner REG_SZ Character string

  Specifies the Solaris system user account name for replicated files.

  Default: lmxadmin
