Selecting or deselecting namespaces for replication

You can select or deselect namespaces to be replicated with the tenant at any time. If you deselect a namespace that was already being replicated, replication of that namespace stops. If you subsequently select that namespace again, replication of the namespace starts again from where it stopped.

Note: Depending on the current status of replication, if the tenant is being replicated, you may not be able to deselect namespaces.

 

Important: Depending on the configuration of the HCP systems in the replication topology, deselecting a namespace that has already been replicated may cause object data in that namespace to become inaccessible on one or more but not all of the systems in the topology.

To select or deselect namespaces for replication, on the Replication page:

1.Click on Namespace Replication Selection.

In the Namespace Replication Selection panel, the Namespaces Selected for Replication section lists the namespaces owned by the tenant that are currently selected for replication. The Select Namespaces for Replication section lists the namespaces owned by the tenant that are not currently selected for replication.

2.Take either or both of these actions:

oTo select namespaces for replication:

1.Optionally, filter the list of namespaces in the Select Namespaces for Replication list by namespace name:

a.In the Select Namespaces for Replication field, type a text string to use as a filter. This string can be up to 64 characters long and can contain any valid UTF-8 characters, including white space. It is not case sensitive.

You cannot filter the namespace list while any of the namespaces in it are selected for replication.

b.Click on the find control ( ).

To redisplay the entire list of unselected namespaces after filtering it, click on the clear filter control ( ).

2.For each listed namespace you want to select for replication, click in the namespace row.

The namespace is selected, and the namespace row change color.

To select all the namespaces in the list, click on the Select All button above the list.

To deselect a selected namespace, click in the namespace row.

To deselect all the selected namespaces, click on the Clear button.

oTo deselect HCP namespaces from replication:

1.Optionally, filter the list of namespaces in the Namespaces Selected for Replication section, as described above.

2.For each listed namespace you want to deselect from replication, click in the namespace row.

The namespace is selected, and the namespace row changes color.

To select all the namespaces in the list, click on the Select All button above the list.

To deselect a selected namespace, click in the namespace row.

To deselect all the selected namespaces, click on the Clear button.

Important: Rows containing namespaces that have been deleted from HCP are highlighted in red and have a trash can icon ( ) on the right. HCP automatically removes each deleted namespace from the link after the deletion has been replicated.

Do not manually remove deleted namespaces from the link. If you do, the deletion will not be replicated.

3.Click on the Update Selections button.

If you deselected one or more namespaces and this action may result in inaccessible object data, a confirming message appears.

In the window with the confirming message, select I understand to confirm that you understand the consequences of your action. Then click on the Update Selections button.

Tip: You can also select or deselect a namespace for replication in the namespace Replication panel. For more information on doing this, see Changing replication options.
