Adding a bunker Secondary to the RDS

Use the Add Bunker wizard to add a bunker Secondary to the RDS. After adding the bunker Secondary, you can proceed with synchronizing the Secondary and starting replication. For instructions, see Synchronizing the Secondary and starting replication.

To add a bunker Secondary to the RDS

From the tree view, select the name of the Primary for which you want to create the bunker Secondary. For example, hr_rvg.
Choose Replication > Add Bunker. To use the pop-up menu, right-click the name of the Primary, for example, seattle. The Add Bunker wizard is displayed.
Click Next.
Complete the Add Bunker wizard page as follows:

Hostname/IP Address for Replication

Primary

Enter a host name or specify the IP address that can be used for replication. The Primary host name must be resolvable and reachable from the Bunker host. For example, seattle. If you entered the IP address, it must be reachable from the bunker host. The Replication IP column in the Secondary RVG view displays the value of the Primary host.

Bunker

Enter a host name or specify the IP address that can be used for replication. The Bunker host name must be resolvable and reachable from the Primary host. For example, portland. If you entered the IP address, it must be reachable from the Primary host. The Replication IP column in the Primary RVG view displays the value of the Bunker host.

Bunker DG

If the name of the bunker disk group is other than the default, enter the correct name. The bunker disk group must contain the SRL that is to be associated with the Secondary bunker RVG that is being added.

Protocol

Indicates the network connectivity between the bunker Secondary and the Primary. UDP is selected by default.

If the bunker is replicating over IP, set the protocol to UDP or TCP. If the storage is directly accessible by the Primary, for example, DAS or NAS, set the protocol to STORAGE.

Select UDP, TCP, or STORAGE.

In the next page, the message indicates the result of the add bunker operation. If the operation of adding the bunker Secondary was successful the page displays a success message.
If the operation fails, the page displays the failure message and lists the possible reasons of failure in the Result Details area. Read the details carefully and take appropriate corrective action. For more information about the error, note down the Unique Message Identifier (UMI) that is displayed with the error message, and then refer the Veritas Technical Services knowledge base.
Click Finish. The Add Bunker wizard sets the same default values that are set by the Add Secondary wizard.
