Using Scheduled Replication to Create Read-Only Filesets

For a fileset that uses Scheduled Replication, replication occurs automatically according to the parameters established previously with the fts setrepinfo command. You do not need to explicitly enter a command to initiate Scheduled Replication. However, you can use the fts update command to request an immediate update of a fileset's read-only replicas at any time. Issue the fts update command to request an immediate update of the replica at a specific replication site or of all replicas at all sites:

$ fts update -fileset {name | ID} {-all | -server machine}

The -fileset name or ID option is the name or ID number of the read/write fileset whose replicas are to be updated.

The -all option specifies that all replicas of the fileset indicated with the -fileset option are to be updated. Use the -all option or use the -server option.

The -server machine option names a specific File Server machine on which the replica of the fileset indicated with the -fileset option is to be updated. Specify the File Server machine's DCE path name, its host name, or its IP address. Use the -server option or use the -all option.
