OneFS enables you to replicate data from one Isilon cluster to another through the SyncIQ software module. You must activate a SyncIQ license on both Isilon clusters before you can replicate data between them.
You can replicate data at the directory level while optionally excluding specific files and sub-directories from being replicated. SyncIQ creates and references snapshots to replicate a consistent point-in-time image of a root directory. Metadata such as access control lists (ACLs) and alternate data streams (ADS) are replicated along with data.
SyncIQ enables you to maintain a consistent backup copy of your data on another Isilon cluster. SyncIQ offers automated failover and failback capabilities that enable you to continue operations on another Isilon cluster if a primary cluster becomes unavailable.
