HDFS replication policy

You can use the HDFS replication policies in Cloudera Replication Manager to replicate HDFS data. The HDFS replication policies can replicate HDFS data and metadata from classic clusters (CDH, Cloudera Private Cloud Base, and HDP) to Cloudera Public Cloud storage buckets such as S3 and ABFS, and from cloud storage to classic clusters (CDH or Cloudera Private Cloud Base clusters). To use an on-premises cluster (CDH or Cloudera Private Cloud Base cluster) in the replication policy, you must register it as a classic cluster in the Cloudera Management Console. To use the cloud storage for data replication, you must register the cloud credentials in Replication Manager so that the Replication Manager service can access the cloud storage. You must also verify cluster access and configure minimum ports for replication before you create HDFS replication policies.

You can also use CDP CLI commands to create HDFS replication policies. The CDP CLI commands for Replication Manager are under the replicationmanager CDP CLI option. For more information, see CDP CLI for Replication Manager.
