Adding a replication partner

If you want to replicate data with another site, you may have already set it up during the initial installation. If you did not set up replication during the initial installation, you can do so later by adding a replication partner.

You can add a replication partner that was previously deleted as a partner. If you add a deleted partner, the management server to which you want to connect must have previously been a partner on the same site farm.

See Managing sites and replication

To add a replication partner

  1. In the console, click Admin, and then click Servers.

  2. Under Servers, select a site.

  3. Under Tasks, click Add Existing Replication Partner.

  4. In the Add Specify Existing Replication Partner Wizard, click Next.

  5. In the Remote Site Information panel, type the IP address or host name and the port number of the management server that you want to make a replication partner.

    The default setting for the remote server port is 8443.

  6. Type the administrator's user name and password for the remote management server, and then click Next.

  7. In the Schedule Replication panel, specify the schedule for replication between the two partners by doing one of the following:

    • Check Autoreplicate.

      It causes frequent and automatic replication to occur between two sites.

    • To set up a custom schedule for replication, check Autoreplicate, and specify the schedule.

  8. Click Next.

  9. In the Replication of Log Files and Client Packages panel, check or uncheck the options depending on whether or not you want to replicate logs.

  10. In the Add Replication Partner dialog box, do one of the following:

    • If the database has been restored on the replication partner site, click Yes.

      You must restore the database on each replication partner site before you continue if you upgrade or restore a database.

    • Click No if the database has not been restored.

      Then restore the database and restart this procedure.

  11. Click Next.

  12. Click Finish.

    The replication partner is added under Replication Partners on the Admin page.
