Cloning a Replication Package (BUI)

A clone of a replication package is based on the most recently received replication snapshot.

When creating a cloned project, avoid naming conflicts by following these guidelines:

• The cloned project must have a unique name that does not conflict with any of the existing projects within the same pool.

• The mountpoint and SMB resource name for any of the shares of the cloned project must not conflict with any existing mountpoint or SMB resource names.

• For shares that inherit project properties, resolve conflicts by overriding the project-level mountpoint and/or SMB resource name.

• For shares that do not inherit properties from the project, set a suffix that will be appended to the mountpoint and/or SMB resource names to resolve conflicts, or override the mountpoint and/or SMB resource name individually for each share.

Use the following procedure to clone a replication package.

1. From the target appliance, navigate to the replication package you want to clone.
2. Click the Replication tab.
3. Click the clone icon .
4. In the Clone Replication Project dialog box, complete the following fields:
   1. New project - Enter a unique name for the new project (clone).

      A name must consist of 1 to 64 characters, but not include spaces or begin with a period. Allowable characters are: alphanumeric and special characters _ - . :

   2. (Optional) Mountpoint - Enter a unique project-level mountpoint for the clone.

      This setting applies to shares that inherit the mountpoint from the project. Entering a unique mountpoint helps avoid conflicts.

   3. (Optional) Disable SMB Sharing - Check to disable SMB.

      This setting applies to shares that inherit SMB sharing from the project. Shares that do not inherit SMB sharing from the project are not affected. Disabling SMB sharing on the project level will not disable SMB sharing, for shares that do not inherit SMB sharing from project.

   4. (Optional) SMB Resource Name Prefix - Enter an SMB resource name.

      This setting applies to shares that inherit the SMB resource name from the project. Entering a unique resource name helps avoid conflicts.

      When SMB is enabled, you can share the clone over SMB. The SMB Resource Name Prefix used to share inherited shares of the new cloned project will be constructed using the prefix you add plus the name of the corresponding share.

      

5. Click APPLY.

   If there are no mountpoint or resource name conflicts, the clone operation is initiated.

   If the project name is already in use, an alert appears and a new project name must be entered.

6. (Optional) If conflicts are detected, use the additional dialog boxes to resolve them.
   1. Resolve conflicts that inherit a mountpoint and/or SMB resource names from the project.

      

      1. Enter a unique mountpoint.
      2. Disable SMB Sharing or enter a unique SMB resource name prefix.
      3. Click APPLY.
   2. Resolve conflicts for shares that do not inherit a mountpoint and/or SMB resource names from the project.

      This dialog box appears only after you have resolved all conflicts for inheriting shares.

      

      1. Enter a unique suffix to append to the mountpoint and/or SMB resource names of these shares.
      2. Click APPLY.
7. If conflicts still exist, repeat step 6 to resolve the appropriate conflicts.
