Editing and Managing Scenarios and Hosts › Propagating Master Root Directories to Multiple Replica Hosts

Propagating Master Root Directories to Multiple Replica Hosts

Arcserve RHA enables you to propagate the root directories you set for the Master to multiple Replica hosts at once. Instead of separately configuring the root directories of each Replica host, in a click-of-a-button you can distribute the root directory of one Master to as many Replica hosts as you want. This option is particularly useful for a scenario that has many Replica hosts.

Note: The scenario must be stopped to apply root directory changes.

To propagate root directories

1. On the Scenario pane, select the Master whose root directories you want to propagate.
2. On the Framework pane, click the Root Directories tab at the bottom. The Master Root Directories information appears in the pane.
3. On the Master Root Directories pane, right-click the root directory you want to propagate and select Propagate Value from the shortcut menu.
4. Click the Propagate Value command. The Propagate Value dialog opens.

   

   The Master and all Replica hosts in the scenario appear in the dialog, along with their selected root directories. The root directory you selected for propagation is displayed above the Scenarios/Hosts table, and in the Current Value column marked in red.

5. To propagate the root directory to all Replica hosts, click OK.

   Note: To exclude hosts from the root directory value propagation, clear their check boxes, and then click OK.

6. After the Propagate Value dialog is closed, click the Save button on the Standard toolbar to save and apply your changes to all hosts.
