Problem Replicating...

[Robert Thomspon]

So, Im trying to replicate the data from one FreeNAS box (HP Proliant 350ML) to a spare Dell T5500...

Im not sure exactly what im doing wrong, but, when attempting to create the SSH connection, i get the popup window to fill in the information (source/destination...etc) I go to generate an SSH key for the replication and I just get a spinning wheel... Ive let it sit overnight, but, both machines do this... is this normal? should it really take 10+ hours to generate the SSH key?

Is there a newer instruction set to match 11.3? (it seems to be set up differently than older versions)

11.3 is different as the replication engine was rewritten. You'll want to read that section of the Guide: https://www.ixsystems.com/documentation/freenas/11.3-RC1/tasks.html#replication.

Also, is the spinning wheel happening on RC1?

I do not know... I ended up RSYNCing the files and skipped the replication as it kept getting locked up trying to create the SSH... i eventually gave up.
