Preparing the application for the global environment

Perform the following tasks to set up a global cluster environment.

To prepare the application for the global cluster environment

  1. Install the application (Oracle in this example) in the second cluster.

    Make sure the installation is identical with the one in the first cluster.

  2. Set up replication between the shared disk groups in both clusters.

    If your configuration uses VVR, the process involves grouping the shared data volumes in the first cluster into a Replicated Volume Group (RVG), and creating the VVR Secondary on hosts in the new cluster, located in your remote site.

    See Veritas Volume Replicator documentation.
