The Dell Hadoop app agent supports Managed File Replication between two PowerProtect DD appliances where we can store a replica copy of the backup for restore or disaster recovery scenarios.
The replication is defined and launched by the Hadoop app agent.
To configure the replication PowerProtect DD, edit the configuration file dplm-env.cfg.
Before you start the backup, perform the following steps:
./dlp-dd-config.sh -z ../config/dlpm-env.cfg -a -r
Here -r denotes that the command fetches the credentials of the replication PowerProtect DD, and not for the primary PowerProtect DD.
The replication process will start as part of the backup workflow after the main backup is completed.
