DX Object Storage Platform: Remote Replication Configuration Timeout After: Time in seconds before the publisher will terminate a subscriber if it has not been heard from. Value is a minimum of 60 seconds. Subscription Service Channel Name: The name of the channel the replicator subscribes to. This must match the subscription name in the remote publisher rules.xml file. The default subscription name in the rules file is "ReplicateAll", which causes all objects written to the local cluster to be replicated to the remote cluster. Subscription Service Publisher Server Host: The IP address or hostname of the Publisher to which the Replicator subscribes. This is the external IP address for the remote CSN. Subscription Service Publisher Server Port: The port on which the publisher publishes UUIDs. Default is port number is 8080. Figure 7: Replicator Console Configuration of multiple subscribers for a replicator, as required for the multi-site disaster recovery configuration, requires advanced configuration through the replicator configuration file, /etc/caringo/contentrouter/replicator.cfg. This is done by adding the name/value pairing for the subscription option in the replicator configuration file. The name field is "subscribeTo" and the value is one or more publisher IPs with a channel name and a port number of the publisher service. Below is a sample of a replicator configuration file that has been modified to replicate from 2 source clusters / publishers. Page 6
