How to chance replication type?
So I have a bit of a problem. When our DD890's were set up initially the vendor set them up for Collection type replication. That wouldn't be an issue, except that I wish to use NBU AIR (now that it's supported with 7.6 and OST Plugin 2.6x)...and of course Collection makes the destination read only.
My question is this: is there any way to change the replication type from Collection to something else (directory maybe?) without having to initialize and re-replicate 112tb of data? I'm guessing 'no', but I'm at a loss as to how to procede.
Second question: Is there any way to use OST with a Collection type? (Again, I'm assuming 'no' and that I'm just out of luck, but looking for confirmation).
Thanks all!

Smw6181,
The answer is no to both questions. If you have collection replication you will need to break it and set up either directory or mtree replication for the backup folders. Our replication team could work with you to fast copy the directories which would speed up the resync if you wanted to switch replication types.
