CAS Replication • Your local Domino server replicates with the master hub server which then replicates with other Domino servers, the master servers reside at PRNOC and other NOCs • Once replicated, a current copy of the RIMPAC 14 site will reside on the local Domino servers • Users may then locally access the information via their CENTRIXS-M workstation by pointing there web browser to the local Domino server • http://www/cowanhub.nsf - Local machine = GOOD • http://205.X.X.X/ cowanhub.nsf – PRNOC = BAD

  13. CAS Replication • Benefits include: • Reduced bandwidth usage • Only changes are replicated (Not entire document) • Changes can be made locally without having to access a remote server • Users always have access to local data even during periods when off ship access is unavailable

  14. CAS Replication • BLUF - if you have perishable information, use chat or email, then follow up on CAS applicable • NOC to NOC – • Every 15 minutes • Ship to NOC • Every 30 minutes • Up to 45 minutes to fully replicate across all sites, may be longer dependent on bandwidth availability • Domino server must be left on with off-ship communications established in order to receive the most current postings
