Replicating data with SyncIQ from a source cluster configured for SmartLock compliance directories to a target cluster is only supported if the target cluster is running in SmartLock compliance mode. The source and target directories of the replication policy must be root paths of SmartLock compliance directories on the source and target cluster. Replicating data from a compliance directory to a non-compliance directory is not supported, causing the replication job to fail.
