Modifying a replication set

Make modifications to a replication set when you want to change the data you wish to protect.

1. View the replication sets associated with the active source machine by using the repset list command.

    

   Command

   REPSET LIST

   Description

   Lists all replication set names for the currently selected source

   Syntax

   REPSET LIST

    

2. Identify a replication set as active by using the repset use command.

    

   Command

   REPSET USE

   Description

   Specifies a replication set as the active replication set

   Syntax

   REPSET USE <repset>

   Options

   repset—Name of the replication set

   Examples

   repset use DataFiles

   Notes

   Replication set names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    

3. View the replication set’s rules by using the repset display command.

    

   Command

   REPSET DISPLAY

   Description

   Displays the replication set rules

   Syntax

   REPSET DISPlay [repset]

   Options

   repset—Name of the replication set

   Examples

   • repset display DataFiles
   • repset disp DataFiles

   Notes

   • If you do not specify a replication set name, the current replication set will be used.
   • Replication set names that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    

4. Remove the existing rule that you need to change using the repset rule remove command.

    

   Command

   REPSET RULE REMOVE

   Description

   Removes a rule from a replication set

   Syntax

   REPSET RULE REMove <path> [FROM <repset>]

   Options

   • path—Volume, directory, wild card, and/or file name
   • repset—Name of the replication set

   Examples

   • repset rule remove "/data" from DataFiles
   • repset rule rem "/temp"

   Notes

   • If you do not specify a replication set name, the current replication set will be used.
   • Options that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    

5. Add a new rule by using the repset rule add command.

    

   Command

   REPSET RULE ADD

   Description

   Adds a rule to a replication set. A rule is the specification of a path including volume, directories, wild cards, and/or file names.

   Syntax

   REPSET RULE ADD <path> [INClude|EXClude] [, RECursive|NONRECursive] [TO <repset>]

   Options

   • path—Volume, directory, wild card, and/or file name
   • INClude—Include the specified path in the replication set
   • EXClude—Exclude the specified path in the replication set
   • RECursive—All subdirectories and files of the specified path are recursively included or excluded
   • NONRECursive—No subdirectories and files of the specified path are included or excluded
   • repset—Name of the replication set

   Examples

   • repset rule add "/data" to DataFiles
   • repset rule add "/temp" exc rec to DataFiles

   Notes

   • The default settings for this command are include and recursive.
   • The options include/exclude and recursive/nonrecursive can be used in any combination and in any order. The first option does not require a comma, but the second option does require a comma before the option.
   • If you do not specify a replication set name, the current replication set will be used.
   • Options that contain non-alphanumeric characters must be enclosed in quotation marks.

    

6. If you decide that you do not like the changes you have just made, you can use the repset resync command to restore the previously saved settings, undoing your modifications.

    

   Command

   REPSET RESYNC

   Description

   Retrieves the last saved replication set settings, clearing any unsaved changes

   Syntax

   REPSET RESYNC
