Replicating to a self-managed core

A self-managed core is a core to which you have access, often because it is managed by your company
at an off-site location. Replication can be completed entirely on the source core, unless you choose to
seed your data. Seeding requires that you consume the seed drive on the target core after you configure
replication on the source core.
NOTE: This configuration applies to replication to an off-site location and to mutual replication. The
Core must be installed on all source and target machines. If you are configuring your system for
multi-point to point replication, you must perform this task on all source cores and the one target
core.
Configuring the source core to replicate to a self-managed target core
To configure the source core to replicate to a self-managed target core:
1. In the Core, click the Replication tab.
2. Click Add Target Core.
The Replication wizard appears.
3. Select I have my own Target Core, and then enter the information as described in the following
table.
Text Box
Host Name
Port
User Name
Password
If the Core you want to add has been paired with this source core previously, perform the following:
a. Select Use an existing target core.
b. Select the target core from the drop-down list.
c. Click Next.
d. Skip to step 7.
4. Click Next.
5. On the Details page, enter a name for this replication configuration; for example, SourceCore1. If
you are re-initiating or repairing a previous replication configuration, select My Core has been
migrated and I would like to repair replication
6. Click Next.
7. On the Agents page, select the agents you want to replicate, and then use the drop-down lists in the
Repository column to select a repository for each agent.
