NAS replication job succeeds but target shares not visible

Minimal guidance for messy support realities.

Scenario

Replication reports success, yet the replicated data is not mounted or exposed correctly on the target NAS.

Recommended Resolution Path

  1. Confirm whether replication creates a passive dataset that must be promoted before serving.
  2. Check target share configuration, ACL mapping, and protocol enablement on the destination.
  3. Review logs for warnings about skipped permissions or namespace conflicts.
  4. Document recovery activation steps so staff do not mistake passive replicas for immediate live failover.

Technician Notes

Document what changed, what confirmed the fix, and whether the issue points to a broader standards gap worth addressing for the client.
