Question on Custom Replication schedul
HI All --
I have a replication customization question for anyone who might be able to help.
We are currently running two stand-alone Avamar 6.0 nodes that replicate to each other across a 10Mbps WAN link. The replication window is nightly for about 10 hours. Normally, this is more than sufficient for replicating our daily backup.
However, once a week, on Saturdays, we backup our main VMware cluster (about 60 VMs). After this backup, the replication takes 2-3 days to catch-up (Sunday through Tuesday) following the normal replication window.
To help with this, I have the option of using our entire WAN link for 20 hours (24 minus the maintenace window) on the weekends. So I would like to setup a second replication window that runs Saturdays and Sundays from 9am to 5am. I checked PowerLink and found this solution: https://solutions.emc.com/emcsolutionview.asp?id=esg97074
I've followed this to the letter a few times, but the replication never starts.
Does anyone know what I should check to see if crontab is picking up the new command? Any suggestions on what logs I can check (other than replicate.log)?
Thanks!
