Configuring replication on clusters at both sites

You must configure replication for the database files. Once replication is configured, make sure it is functioning correctly by testing before proceeding.

To configure replication at both sites

  1. If you are using hardware-based replication, make sure that the replication management software for managing replication is installed on all nodes in both clusters.

  2. At both sites, identify the disks on which the database resides at the primary site and associate them with the corresponding disks at the secondary site.

    For VVR:

    See Setting up replication using VVR on the primary site.

    For Hardware-based replication:

    See your hardware documentation for details on setting up replication between the two sites.

  3. Start replication between the sites.

    For VVR:

    See Starting replication of Oracle RAC database volume.

    See your hardware documentation for the appropriate procedures.
