Setting up replication objects on the primary site

Before creating the Replicated Volume Group (RVG) on the primary site, make sure the replication objects are active and online.

 To review the status of replication objects on the primary site

1. Verify the volumes you intend to include in the group are active.
2. Review the output of the hagrp -state cvm command.
3. Check that the cvm group is online.

 To create the RVG

• Create the primary RVG using the vradmin command:

  vradmin -g disk_group createpri rvg_name data_volume srl_volume

  where:

  • disk_group is the name of the disk group containing the database
  • rvg_name is the name for the RVG
  • data_volume is the volume that VVR replicates
  • srl_volume is the volume for the SRL

    For example, to create the rac1_rvg RVG, enter:

    # vradmin -g oradatadg createpri rac1_rvg rac1_vol rac1_srl

    The command creates the RVG on the primary site and adds a Data Change Map (DCM) for each data volume. In this case, a DCM exists for rac1_vol.
