Synchronizing Cluster Historical Data

Data written to a cluster before the cluster is added to a replication group is called historical data. This operation enables you to synchronize historical data from a source cluster to a target cluster.

Prerequisites

You have created a replication group.

Procedure

  1. Choose Data Protection > Object Protection > Remote Replication.
  2. In the area of the desired replication group, click Synchronize Historical Data.

    The Synchronize Historical Data page is displayed on the right.

  3. Select a source cluster and target cluster from the Source Cluster and Target Cluster drop-down lists, respectively.

    • Target Cluster cannot be the same as Source Cluster.
    • After a historical data synchronization task is created, the system immediately synchronizes historical data from the source cluster to the target cluster and generates a related alarm. After the task is complete, the alarm is automatically cleared.

  4. Click OK.
