Creating the data and SRL volumes on the secondary site


Creating the data and SRL volumes on the secondary site
Prev	Setting up replication on the secondary site using VVR	Next

Note the following when creating volumes for the data and Storage Replicator Log (SRL):

The sizes and names of the volumes must match the sizes and names of the corresponding volumes in the primary site before you create the disk group.
The disk group must match the size and name of the disk group at the primary site.
Create the data and SRL volumes on different disks in the disk group. Use the vxdisk -g diskgroup list command to list the disks in the disk group.
Mirror the volumes.

To create the data and SRL volumes on the secondary site

In the disk group created for the database, create a data volume of same size as that in primary for data; in this case, the dbdata_vol volume on the primary site is 12 GB:
```
# vxassist -g dbdatadg make dbdata_vol 12000M disk11 disk12
		
```
Create the volume for the SRL, using the same name and size of the equivalent volume on the primary site. Create the volume on different disks from the disks for the database volume, but on the same disk group that has the data volume:
```
# vxassist -g dbdatadg make dbdata_srl 6800M disk14 disk16
```
