Replication Actions

Replication actions define the rules for replicating data to replication targets. The following commands manage the replication actions.

Using the Flat Action Interface

Requests to manage replication actions can be made directly to an Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance system, without specifying a project or share.

The following table lists the base commands for managing replication actions.

Monitor Replication Action Progress

The get replication action status command returns the status of a single replication action given by its ID. Examine state and state_description to determine replication progress.

state property values:

  • sending

  • idle

state_description property values:

  • Connecting to replication target

  • Receiving checkpoint from target

  • Estimating size of update

  • Building deduplication tables

    This property value is only for deduplicated replication streams.
