To display the Replication page, click Storage → Replication. The Replication page displays the number of source replications, the names of the local and remote containers, the peer state, and the bandwidth selected per container. The Replication page lets you perform the following tasks:

• Create a new replication relationship (source and target pair or cascaded replication) and select the type of encryption to use.
• Edit or delete an existing replication relationship.
• Start or stop replication.
• Set the bandwidth (or speed limit) for the replication process.
• Display statistics for an existing replication relationship.

The Replication page contains a Replication summary table that lists the following replication-related information:

• Source Container Name—SRC container name (IP address or hostname)
• Replica Container Name—Target in the replication process (IP address or hostname)
• Cascaded Replica Container Name—Remote container name (IP address or hostname) (optional)
• Bandwidth—Settings include Kibibytes per second (KiB/s), Mebibytes per second (MiB/s), Gibibytes per second (GiB/s), or default (an unlimited bandwidth setting)
  • NOTE: Mouse over status for Peer State—Online, Offline, Paused, or Disconnected. When started the Peer State displays the status as Online for the selected container. When stopped, the Peer State initially displays the status as Paused, and then changes to Offline.
