You can edit a replication schedule to change the schedule pattern, to add or remove VMs, to select the validation option, or to select the overwrite option.
Before You Begin
-
To enable edits for all of the values in an existing replication schedule, add the nAllowLiveSyncEditConfig additional setting on the CommServe system as shown in the following table.
For instructions on adding additional settings from the CommCell Console, see Add or Modify an Additional Setting.

Procedure
-
Right-click the backup set, and then select View > Schedules.
For replication schedules, the Type is Site Replication.
-
Right-click the replication schedule, and then select Edit.
-
To delete a schedule, right-click the schedule, select Delete, and then confirm the deletion.
-
On the Schedule Pattern tab, make changes as needed to the replication schedule.
-
On the General tab, you can view configuration settings for the schedule.
The table in the center of the tab shows information for each virtual machine, with virtual disks shown under each VM.
You can make changes to the following options:
-
To remove a virtual machine from a schedule that contains multiple VMs, select the virtual machine, and then click Remove VMs. After you remove a virtual machine from the schedule, it does not appear on the Replication Monitor.
If a schedule includes only one virtual machine, then you can delete the schedule to remove the VM from replication operations.
-
To add a virtual machine, click Add, and then provide configuration settings for the VM as described in Configuring Replication.
-
To update disk information for the source VM, click Refresh Disks.
-
You can only change the value in Destination Path only for disks that were added after the most recent replication operation.
-
Validate Destination VM (Power On & OFF): Verify that the destination VM is bootable by turning it on and then turning it off.
-
Unconditionally overwrite VM with the same name: Replace an existing virtual machine with a virtual machine that has the same name in the target location.
-
To modify network connections, select one or more virtual machines, and then click Configure.
You cannot change any other information for a virtual machine that is already included on the schedule.
-
To replicate changes from an auxiliary copy or backup copy:
-
Click Advanced.
The Advanced Live Sync Options dialog box appears.
-
On the Copy Precedence tab, select Restore from copy precedence, and then enter the number of the storage copy properties for the auxiliary copy or the backup copy.
When you configure replication to use an auxiliary copy or a backup copy, the replication operation reads data from the copy instead of reading from the primary backup.
Unless you have created the nAllowLiveSyncEditConfig additional setting as described above, you cannot change any other values for the schedule. To specify other replication options, you can also configure a new schedule as described in Configuring Replication.
