Link overview

To monitor the status of and activity on a replication link, you use the link status Overview panel in the HCP System Management Console. To open this panel:

1.In the list of links on the replication Overview page, click on the name of the link you want to monitor.

2.On the page for the individual link, click on Status.

3.In the Status panel, click on the Overview tab.

The top part of the link status Overview panel shows the current status of activity on the link:

For an active/active link, a section labeled Sending shows the status of send activity on the local system. A section labeled Receiving shows the status of send activity on the remote system.

For an outbound active/passive link during replication and an inbound active/passive link during data recovery, a section labeled Sending shows the status of send activity on the local system.

For an outbound active/passive link during data recovery and an inbound active/passive link during replication, a section labeled Receiving shows the status of send activity on the remote system.

The Sending and Receiving sections show:

Data pending — The approximate amount of data currently waiting to be sent to the other system. This is the sum of the amounts of data waiting to be sent in each HCP namespace included in the link. This value does not include data in the default namespace.

This information is not available in the Receiving section on a replica during replication or on a primary system during data recovery.

Objects pending — The approximate number of objects currently waiting to be sent to the other system. This is the sum of the numbers of objects waiting to be sent in each HCP namespace included in the link. This number does not include objects in the default namespace.

This information is not available in the section on a replica during replication or on a primary system during data recovery.

Up to date as of — The amount of time that is the difference between:

oThe date and time before which configuration changes and changes to namespace content are guaranteed to have been sent to the other system

oThe current date and time

If Replication Verification is activated, a Verifying section appears directly below the Sending and Receiving sections of the Overview panel. For more information on replication verification, see Managing replication verification. The Verifying section shows:

Last Pass Completed — The date and time when replication verification finished its last check. If replication is set to run only once and the check has already finished, the Last Pass Completed shows Completed and the time and date the pass completed.

Status — The current replication verification status. Possible values are:

oRunning — Replication verification is checking for non-replicated objects.

oDisabled — Replication verification is not enabled.

Issues Found — The total number of non-replicating objects that replication verification has found. If non-replicating objects had been found, you can click on the Issues Found button to open the Tenants with Non-Replicating Objects page. The page lists each tenant containing non-replicating objects and the number of objects that failed to replicate. If you have administrator access to the tenant, clicking on the tenant url takes you to the respective tenant on the Tenant Management Console.

The Transfer Rate graphs shows the history of the rate of data transmissions on the link (see Data transmission rate).

The Remote Total Primary Storage graph shows the history of the rate of operations on the link (see Operation rate).

For active/active links and outbound active/passive links, one or two pie charts appear showing the amount of used and free storage space on the remote system (see Remote storage space).

The statistics for replication links are updated every ten minutes. To see updated statistics, redisplay the Replication page.
