Symptoms

Cannot inherit properties for a replicated project on 2010.08.17.4.0 ( 2010Q3.4 ) or earlier. The problem occurs when carrying out the following actions:

Replicating a share from source to Target.
Once the replication is completed, the replicated share is moved to a new project.
Now when the inherit option is selected to inherit the replication configuration from the new project, after committing the change the inheritance property reverts back to normal, and does not change.

Inheriting the replication configuration from the project means that the share                                                      
will no longer be replicated on its own, but rather it will be replicated with                                                      
the project and all other shares inheriting this project's configuration. All                                                      
replication configuration previously associated with this share will be                                                            
destroyed. All existing replicas of this share on all targets will be                                                              
unaffected by this operation. Such replicas will NOT be used for future                                                            
replication updates. The share will be replicated with a full update for each                                                      
of the project's replication actions.

Changes

A share is replicated and then moved to a new project. The replication configuration for the share should be inherited from the new project.

Cause

This issue is a bug seen with older ak firmware, 2010.08.17.4.0 or earlier.

Solution

The problem is not seen when both source and target are 2011.1.1.0 or above

Please upgrade to Appliance Firmware Release 2011.1.1.0 or above to fix.

Inheritance property can only be changed if replication is done at project level for old firmwares.
