View Replication Reports

Use the Device Replication report to view both detailed and summary information for namespace file replication, source replication, and target replication.

Replication reports are accessible for Q-Cloud Protect appliances and the following DXi devices: DXi V-Series virtual appliances, DXi4500, DXi4700, DXi6500, DXi6700, DXi6800, DXi6900, DXi6900-S, DXi7500, and DXi8500.

Access Control

For Vision to gather replication data for Q-Cloud Protect appliances or DXi devices running software versions 3.2 or later, it needs to identify itself through an SSH key pair.

Vision generates this key pair. The private key is Vision's secure identifier. The public key is shared with the Q-Cloud Protect appliance or DXi device. Vision has authorization to gather replication data only when the private and public keys match. For more information, see Configure Security Settings for Vision.

  1. From the <individual> Device console, click the Replication tab to display the Replication console.
