Create an encrypted SyncIQ policy

  • To create an encrypted SyncIQ policy:

    1. On the source cluster, find the truncated certificate ID of the target cluster, also known as the SyncIQ peer:
      1. Run:

    isi sync certificates peer list

    Make a note of the appropriate truncated certificate ID, from the ID column.

    1. On the source cluster, retrieve the full certificate ID, using the truncated certificate ID from step a:

    isi sync certificates peer view [truncated certificate ID from step a]

    Make a note of the full certificate ID, from the ID field.

    1. On the source cluster, create an encrypted SyncIQ policy, using the following command:

    isi sync pol create [SyncIQ Policy Name] sync [Source Cluster Directory] [Target Cluster IP Address] [Target Cluster Directory] --target-certificate-id=[full certificate ID from the previous step]
