A policy is required to replicate a dataset from a source PowerScale cluster to a target platform. A license is required before policy configuration, and the service must be activated. This section provides the steps to configure replication from a PowerScale source cluster.
SmartSync uses the OneFS Datamover service. Although the references in this section use SmartSync, the CLI refers to SmartSync as Datamover.
Note: This section's configuration examples and options are based on the CLI. SmartSync may also be configured using PAPI. The configuration steps may be used as a template by replacing the CLI commands with PAPI commands. For more information, see the PowerScale OneFS API Reference Guide on Dell Support.
