Examples for setting up a simple Volume Replicator configuration

The examples in this section explain how to use Volume Replicator (VVR) to set up a simple VVR configuration under different situations. The examples explain how to set up a VVR configuration with one Secondary and hence one RLINK; however, VVR enables you to configure and set up configurations with multiple Secondaries. The examples give the steps to replicate from the Primary host seattle to the Secondary host london.

Unless otherwise noted, the following assumptions apply to all the examples in this section:

Configuration Considerations:

Consider the following in each example:

In the examples, each data volume is 4 GB; the Primary and Secondary SRL are 4 GB each.
