Starting replication when data volumes are initialized with zeroes

Because the Primary data volumes are initialized with zeroes, the data on the Secondary node does not need to be synchronized with the Primary. However, we recommend that you zero initialize the Secondary data volumes.

The instructions in this section assume that the RDS has been created using the procedure described in the section Creating a Replicated Data Set.

  Note   Do not start the application or mount the file system before completing step 4.

1. Select the Secondary host name from the tree, and then choose Replication > Start Replication.
2. From the Start Replication dialog box, select Synchronization not needed.
3. Click OK. The Start Replication dialog box displays the result of your request to start replication.
4. Click OK to close the Start Replication dialog box.
5. Start the application.

    

   Notes:
   When this task is initiated, the Replicated Data Set View for the RDS displays the Data Status as consistent, and the Replication Status as replicating (connected). When this task completes, the Replicated Data Set View for the RDS displays the Data Status as consistent, and the Replication Status as replicating (connected).
