Text Box Description required for copying the seed drive, but is not reserved immediately after starting the copying process). • Select the blank text box, enter an amount, and then select a unit of measurement from the drop-down list to customize the maximum space you want to reserve. Customer ID (optional) Recycle action Optionally, enter the customer ID that was assigned to you by the service provider. In the event that the path already contains a seed drive, select one of the following options: • Do not reuse - Does not overwrite or clear any existing data from the location. If the location is not empty, the seed drive write fails. • Replace this core - Overwrites any pre-existing data pertaining to this core but leave the data for other cores intact. • Erase completely - Clears all data from the directory before writing the seed drive. Comment Add all Agents to Seed Drive Build RP chains (fix orphans) Enter a comment or description of the archive. Select the agents you want to replicate using the seed drive. Select this option to replicate the entire recovery point chain to the seed drive. This option is selected by default. Typical seeding in AppAssure replicates only the latest recovery point to the seed drive, which reduces the amount of time and space required for creating the seed drive. Opting to build recovery point (RP) chains to the seed drive requires enough space on the seed drive to store the latest recovery points from the specified agent or agents, and may take additional time to complete the task. Use compatible format Select this option to create the seed drive in a format that is compatible with both new and older versions of the AppAssure Core. 10. On the Agents page, select the agents you want to replicate to the target core using the seed drive. 11. Click Finish. 12. If you created a seed drive, send it to your target core. The pairing of the source core to the target core is complete. Replication begins, but produces orphaned recovery points on the target core until the seed drive is consumed and provides the necessary base images. Consuming the seed drive on a target core This procedure is only necessary if you created a seed drive while Configuring Replication For A SelfManaged Core. To consume the seed drive on a target core: 1. If the seed drive was saved to a portable storage device such as a USB drive, connect the drive to the target core. 2. From the Core Console on the target core, select the Replication tab. 84
