Using replication

You can create a replica of File Storage at another location and synchronize it periodically. You can perform tasks on the File Storage Details page and the Replication page.

Reference
  • The kr-south region does not provide File Storage replication functionality.

Create Clone

You can create a replica volume in a different location. To create a replica volume, follow these steps.

  1. All Services > Storage > File Storage click the menu. 1. Go to the Service Home page of File Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the File Storage menu. 2. Go to the File Storage list page.
  3. File Storage list page, click the resource for which you want to create a replica. 3. Navigate to the File Storage Details page.
  4. Click the Create Clone button. 4. Create Clone popup window opens.
  5. Enter the Replication location and Replication volume name, Password, Replication schedule, and click the Create button. 6. Creates a replica with the same disk type.
    • Replication Location: Select a location different from the original File Storage volume.
    • Replication Volume Name: Start with a lowercase English letter and use lowercase letters, numbers, and special characters (_) to enter 3 to 21 characters.
    • Password: the account password for accessing the CIFS volume. * Enter 6 to 20 characters, including English letters, numbers, and special characters ($%{}[]"\ except).
    • Replication interval: Select from 5 minutes, 1 hour, daily, weekly, or monthly. * Replication is performed at the intervals below.
      • Daily: daily 23:59:00
      • Weekly: Every Sunday 23:59:00
      • Monthly: the 1st of each month at 23:59:00
  6. Click the Clone page. 7. Go to the Clone page.
  7. Check the replication information.
    • When selecting the volume name of the source or replica, you are taken to the volume’s File Storage Details page.
Caution
When using replication, you cannot recover with snapshots, and you can only create a recovery volume. If you need to restore from a snapshot, delete the replication policy first, then restore using the snapshot.
Reference
  • When creating a replica, a copy with the same disk type and protocol is generated.
  • One replica can be created per volume, and data transfer charges apply for cross‑region replication.

Edit Replication Policy

You can change the replication status by modifying the replication policy.

Information
  • You cannot modify the replication policy while replication is in progress. * Refresh the screen to verify the replication status again.
  • If the replication policy is stopped or the replication status is completed, you can modify the replication policy on the replica.
To modify the replication policy, follow these steps.

  1. All Services > Storage > File Storage Click the menu. 1. Navigate to the Service Home page of File Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the File Storage menu. 2. Go to the File Storage list page.
  3. On the File Storage List page, click the resource to edit the replication policy. 3. Go to the File Storage Details page.
  4. Click the Copy page. 4. File Storage Replication Navigate to the page.
  5. Click the Edit button of the Replication Policy. 5. Edit Replication Policy The popup window opens.
    • Usage: Performs replication. * If it is Paused, you can change it to Enabled.
    • Pause: Temporarily stops replication. * If Use is selected, it can be changed to Pause.
    • Delete: Delete the replica. * If it is Paused, it can be changed to Delete, and after deletion you cannot use replication again.
  6. On the File Storage Replication page, check the updated Replication Policy.
Caution
  • After deletion, the replica becomes the original, so you cannot re‑replicate to the previous configuration by modifying the replication policy.
  • After Pause, data stored only in the replica will be deleted when replication is used again.
  • When using the replication policy, replicas become read-only and cannot modify data, so unmount from all connected resources before using replication.

Modify replication interval

You can change the synchronization interval between the primary and replica by modifying the replication interval.

Notice
  • You cannot modify the replication interval while replication is in progress. * Refresh the page to verify the replication status again.
  • If the replication policy is stopped or the replication status is completed, you can modify the replication interval on the replica.
To modify the replication interval, follow these steps.

  1. All Services > Storage > File Storage Click the menu. 1. Navigate to the Service Home page of File Storage.
  2. On the Service Home page, click the File Storage menu. 2. Go to the File Storage list page.
  3. On the File Storage list page, click the resource to modify the replication schedule. 3. File Storage Details navigate to the page.
  4. Click the Copy page. 4. File Storage Replication Navigate to the page.
  5. Click the Edit button of the Replication Cycle. 5. Edit Replication Cycle The popup window opens.
    • Replication interval: Choose from 5 minutes, 1 hour, daily, weekly, monthly. * Replication is performed at the intervals below.
      • Daily: Every day 23:59:00
      • Weekly: Every Sunday 23:59:00
      • Monthly: the 1st of each month at 23:59:00
  6. On the File Storage Replication page, check the updated Replication Interval.
Reference
If the replication policy is stopped or the replication status is completed, you can modify the policy and schedule on the replica.
