Master to Replica file server and RFS to Master

[SM_10773308]

how is any object uploaded when preference is set to master will replicate to all the RFS1 & RFS2?

how is any object uploaded when preference is set to RFS1 will sync/copy to master?

how is any object uploaded when preference is set to RFS2 will sync/copy to master and RFS1?

please explain how is any file travels to all these servers?

Hi SM_10773308,

the normal way files travel is as follows:
- uploads with preference set to master will go to master and get replicated when they are requested with site set RFS1 or RFS2 or by predictive caching schedule if configured

- uploads with site set RFS1 will go to RFS1. When requested with setting to master or RFS2 they will be adhoc copied to master or RFS2, otherwise they will be collected by the background queue router3.1 or by forced sync of the file server. 

- uploads with site set RFS2: see above and replace RFS1 and RFS2.

the replica download works as follows:
- site set to RFS1, download file A.PRT 

- the system checks whether A.PRT is already replicated to RFS1

- if a copy of the file is already there the user gets the download link for the file on the RFS1 server

- if a copy of the file is not present the replica file server downloads (syncs) the file from the master or adhoc from another file server and afterwards the user gets the download link for the file on the RFS1 server.
