Reversing an Offline Replication (BUI)
Follow this procedure to move an offline replication package to a new local project, configured to replicate back to a source appliance.
- Import the offline replication package from an NFS server to the target appliance, as described in Importing the Replication Stream from the NFS Server (BUI).
-
From the target appliance, go to Shares > Projects > Replica and locate the
replicated package.
The project is named target_appliance: new_project/share.
-
Select the project and click its reverse replication direction icon
.
-
In the Reverse Replication window, enter a name for the new local project.
This action moves the contents of this package to a new local project configured to replicate back to the source. Any data or metadata changes made on the source since the last successful update will be lost when the new project is replicated back to the source. If replication actions on the source are not disabled, future updates to this package will fail.
- Go to Shares > Projects.
- Open the project and click the Replication tab.
-
Click the Export replication data icon
.
- Check the replication status, and wait until the replication completes.
-
After the replication update is complete, navigate to the newly reversed
package on the new target.
The state description should be Idle (awaiting import).
-
Import the update from the NFS server.
