Data replication

As data is replicated from one HMC to another, an internal level indicator for the data being replicated is recorded each time the data is altered on the data source. Learn about how to force the replication of data from one or more data sources.

Each HMC keeps track of the level indicator for each type of data and will not accept data from a data source when the level indicator is not greater than that on the receiving HMC.

If you need to force the replication of data from one or more data sources and the level indicator on the receiving HMC is greater than that of the data sources, do the following:
  1. Log in the HMC using a user ID that has administrator roles.
  2. In the HMC Management work pane, click Manage Data Replication.
  3. Deselect all the data types from the Customizable Data Types list.
    Note: If you just want to reset the level indicator for a particular data type, just deselect that data type.
  4. Click Save.
  5. In the HMC Management work pane, click Manage Data Replication.
  6. Select the types of data from the Customizable Data Types list you just deselected.
  7. Click Save.
Note: Deselecting and then reselecting the data types resets the internal level indicators for the specified types of data and forces replication of the data from the data sources.
