Replication

Remote replication facilitates replication of projects and shares to and from other Oracle ZFS Storage Appliances.

NOTE: Replication is a licensed feature of the Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance and the replication RESTful API manages that feature. The service is available from the following URI:https://host.example.com:215/api/storage/v1/replication

The Replication RESTful API manages the following resources.

• Replication Service - The service that manages replication tasks.

• Replication Target - An appliance peer that receives and stores data replicated from another appliance peer (the source). This term also refers to a configuration object on the appliance that enables it to replicate to another appliance.

• Replication Action - A configuration object on a source appliance specifying a project or share, a target appliance, and policy options (including how often to send updates, whether to encrypt data on the wire, and so on).

• Replication Package - The target-side analog of an action; the configuration object on the target appliance that manages the data replicated as part of a particular action from a particular source. Each action on a source appliance is associated with exactly one package on a target appliance and vice versa. Loss of either object requires creating a new action/package pair (and a full replication update).

The ZFSSA API supplies replication operations for replication actions and replication packages. The service API is used to manage the replication service and replication sources and targets.
