Customizable data replication
The Customizable Data Replication service provides the ability to configure a set of Hardware Management Consoles (HMCs) to automatically replicate any changes to certain types of data so that the configured set of HMCs automatically keep this data synchronized without manual intervention.
Note: Before enabling this replication service, you may want to save
your original data settings in case you need to restore these settings
at a future time. See Save Upgrade Data.
The following types of data can be configured:
- Customer information data
- Administrator information (customer name, address, telephone number, and so on.)
- System information (administrator name, address, telephone of your system)
- Account information (customer number, enterprise number, sales branch office, and so on.)
- Group data
- All user-defined group definitions
- Modem configuration data
- Configure modem for remote support
- Outbound connectivity data
- Configure local modem to RSF
- Enable an internet connection
- Configure to an external time source
The Customizable Data Replication service can be enabled for the
following types of operations:
- Peer-to-peer (see Peer-to-peer replication).
Provides automatic replication of the selected customized data types between peer HMCs. Changes made on any of these consoles are replicated to the other consoles.
- Master-to-slave (see Master-to-slave replication).
Provides automatic replication of the selected customized data types from one or more designated master HMCs to one or more designated slave HMCs. Changes made on a master console are automatically replicated to the slave console.
