After you complete the service group configuration task in the DR wizard, you configure Volume Replicator replication and global clustering.
Before you begin, ensure that you have met the following prerequisites:
Ensure that Symantec Storage Foundation Volume Replicator is installed at the primary and secondary site.
Ensure that Global Cluster Option (GCO) is installed at the primary and secondary site. One static IP address must be available per site for configuring GCO.
Ensure that Volume Replicator Security Service (VxSAS) is configured at the primary and secondary site.
Ensure that you have set the appropriate IP preference, whether Volume Replicator should use IPv4 or IPv6 addresses. The default setting is IPv4.
When you specify host names while configuring replication, Volume Replicator resolves the host names with the IP addresses associated with them. This setting determines which IP protocol Volume Replicator uses to resolve the host names.
Use Veritas Enterprise Administrator (VEA) (
tab) to set the IP preference.Ensure that a minimum of one static IP address per site is available for each application instance running in the cluster.
Ensure that, for remote cluster configuration, you configure a VCS user with the same name and privileges in each cluster.
Use the following procedure to configure Volume Replicator replication and global clustering with the DR wizard.
To configure Volume Replicator replication and GCO
Otherwise, launch the DR wizard and proceed to the Replication Setup panel as follows:
Start the DR Configuration Wizard from the Solutions Configuration Center by clicking Start > All Programs > Symantec > Veritas Cluster Server > Solutions Configuration Center or, on Windows 2012 operating systems, from the Apps menu.
Expand the Solutions for Enterprise Vault tab and click Disaster Recovery Configuration > Configure replication and the global cluster option (GCO) > Disaster Recovery Configuration Wizard.
The wizard proceeds to the storage cloning panel. If it detects that the storage is identical on the secondary site, it proceeds to the next task. If it detects that the service group is created on the secondary site, it proceeds to the Internet Protocol panel.
Click Advanced Settings to specify some additional replication properties.
The options on the dialog box are described column-wise, from left to right:
To apply changes to advanced settings, click OK.
For additional information on Volume Replicator replication options, refer to the Symantec Storage Foundation Volume Replicator Administrator's Guide.
Click Next.
After specifying the replication attributes for each of the RVGs, click Next.
Click Back if you want to change any of the parameters. If you have a printer installed, you can click the printer icon at the bottom of the scrollable list to print the settings.
Otherwise, click Next to implement the settings.
