Converting Volume Replication Type (Low Latency to High Throughput) Using the CLI

Lists the process to convert a volume's replication type using the CLI.

About this task

A high throughput replication type allows for volumes to be replicated sequentially on intermediate and tail containers from a primary container.

To convert from a low-latency to a high throughput-replication type:

Procedure

  1. Change the permissions on the volume from read-write to read only.
    For example: 
    maprcli volume modify -name mvol1,mvol2 -readonly true
    Wait for the running operations to complete before proceeding to the next step.
  2. Convert the volume from low_latency replication type to high_throughput replication type using the maprcli command.
    For example: 
    maprcli volume modify -name mvol1,mvol2 -replicationtype high_throughput
    Wait till replication type conversion is complete and the first container of the volume acquires a primary container. If necessary, run the following command to see if replication type has been converted: 
    maprcli volume list -columns ReplTypeConversionInProgress,volumename
    If the conversion is complete, the ReplTypeConversionInProgress flag will be set to false (0). For example, the 0 in the ReplTypeConversionInProgress column in the following sample output indicates successful conversion of corresponding volume in the volumename column: 
    maprcli volume list -columns ReplTypeConversionInProgress,volumename
ReplTypeConversionInProgress  volumename

  3. Reset the permissions on the volume to read-write.
    For example, to reset, run the following command: 
    maprcli volume modify -name vol1,vol2 -readonly false
