Add configuration rule on source bucket for nas-local to nas-remote to replicate all operations in an active-active replication setup.

1mcli replicate add nas-local/sourcebucket --remote-bucket nas-remote/targetbucket --priority 1

Show replication status.

1mcli replicate status nas-local/sourcebucket
