Hi all,

I'm testing a Root2Root replication in an Avamar / Data Domain setup and it doesn't seem that the backpus that reside

on the Data Domain is being replicated. This is a fresh install of Avamar and just used for testing

Source site:

Avamar v. 7.1.1-145

DDOS v. 5.5.0.4

Dest site:

Avamar v. 7.1.2-21

DDOS v. 5.5.0.8

This is the command that I'm using and I can see that everything that resides on Avamar is being replicated without problems

nohup avrepl --operation=replicate --[replscript]dstaddr=lpa01.emcsw.loc --[replscript]dstid=root --dstpassword=xxxxxx --[avtar]id=root --[replscript]fullcopy=true --ap=xxxxxx --send-adhoc-request=false --max-streams=8 --[replscript]timeout=0

This is what I see in the nohup.out log

avtar FATAL <12527>: Replication failed

avtar FATAL <40009>: DDR encountered errors.

They way I read the output from the log is that it doesn't seem like src site can send data to dst site ddboost device in Data Domain. The src site is of course created with a DD Boost device and some backup has been running to

DD and some directly to Avamar.

The dst site is created with a DD boost device but is an "empty".

I'm pretty sure that you should be able to do a Root2Root in a combined enviroment but do the DDboost device need to be the same name on both src & dst? Do you need to rename the dst DD system to src DD name?

Any feedback is much appreciated
