Importing a Replication Stream from the NFS Server (CLI)

1. To import the replication stream from the NFS server, navigate to shares replication packages on the target, and then enter ls to list the packages.

   target_a:> shares replication packages
   target_a:shares replication packages> ls
   Packages:
   
   ID          STATE DATA_TIMESTAMP      SOURCE     DATASET
   package-000 idle  unknown             sourceA   <unknown>
   

2. Select the package you want to import.

   To view the properties, enter ls.

   target_a:shares replication packages> select package-000
   target_a:shares replication package-000> ls
   Properties:
   
                               id = 96366bf2-0b3c-4eec-e85b-e36e1b5bc18c
                      source_name = sourceA
                       source_asn = d1fce51d-b8a9-6cf8-d71e-fcd4fe42cd0e
                        source_ip = 10.000.000.000:216
                      target_pool = poolA
                       replica_of = <unknown>
                          enabled = true
                            state = idle
                state_description = Idle (no update in progress)
                          offline = false
                      import_path =
                   data_timestamp = unknown
                        last_sync = unknown
                         last_try = unknown
                      last_result = unknown
   
   

3. Set the import path of the replicated data, and then enter commit.

   target_a:shares replication package-000> set import_path=
   nfs://nfs_server/export/init_repl
                     import_path = nfs://nfs_server/export/init_repl (uncommitted)
   target_a:shares replication package-000> commit
   target_a:shares replication package-000> ls
   Properties:
   
                               id = 96366bf2-0b3c-4eec-e85b-e36e1b5bc18c
                      source_name = sourceA
                       source_asn = d1fce51d-b8a9-6cf8-d71e-fcd4fe42cd0e
                        source_ip = 10.000.000.000:216
                      target_pool = poolA
                       replica_of = <unknown>
                          enabled = true
                            state = receiving
                state_description = Importing update
                          offline = true
                      import_path = nfs://nfs_server/export/init_repl
                   data_timestamp = unknown
                        last_sync = unknown
                         last_try = unknown
                      last_result = unknown
   

Next Steps

After the replication stream is imported to the target appliance, proceed with one of the following:

• Performing a Manual Network Update (CLI)

• Reversing an Offline Replication (CLI)
