Replication Packages
Packages are containers for replicated projects and shares. Each replication action on a source appliance corresponds to one package on a replication target.
You can browse replicated projects, shares, snapshots, and properties much like local projects and shares, using the BUI or CLI. However, because replicated shares must exactly match their counterparts on the source appliance, many management operations are not allowed inside replication packages.
You can modify the following properties of replicated projects and shares:
-
Reservation, Compression, Copies, Deduplication, and Caching - These properties can be changed on the replication target to effect different cost, flexibility, performance, or reliability policies on the replication target from the source.
-
Mountpoint and Sharing Properties (e.g., sharenfs, SMB resource name) - These properties control how shares are exported to NAS clients and can be changed to effect different security or protection policies on the replication target from the source.
Such property modifications persist across replication updates.
