Specifying replication set options
The Specify replication set options page allows you to configure the replication set for online or offline VM replication. In addition, you can also specify the number of errors that you will allow before DS-Client should stop a VM replication process.
1. In the Specify replication set options page, configure the VM replication set for either online or offline VM replication by doing one of the following:
• To perform online VM replication, keep the Initial replication check box cleared.
• To perform offline VM replication, select the Initial replication check box and, when prompted in the Initial Backup Settings dialog box, specify a local disk location to which DS‑Client should save the replication data. If necessary, click Add to specify a new location.
NOTE: If you have selected the Initial replication check box, take note of the local disk location that you specify. After the source DS-Client performs the offline VM replication process, you will need to copy the replication data from this specified location to a local disk location on the destination DS-Client machine.
2. If you need to specify the number of errors to allow before DS-Client should stop a VM replication process, type a number between 1 and 9999 beside Stop on errors. Keep the default value, 0, if you have no specific requirements.
The value 0 means that the number of errors encountered will not cause DS-Client to stop a VM replication process.
