Create the replication objects on the secondary site from the master node of the primary site, using the vradmin command.
To set up the disk group on the secondary site for replication
# vradmin -g dg_pri addsec rvg_pri pri_host sec_host
where:
dg_pri is the disk group on the primary site that VVR will replicate. For example: dbdata_vol
rvg_pri is the Replicated Volume Group (RVG) on the primary site. For example: dbdata_rvg
pri_host is the virtual IP address or resolvable virtual host name of the cluster on the primary site.
For example: 10.10.9.101 or clus1
sec_host is the virtual IP address or resolvable virtual host name of the cluster on the secondary site.
For example: 10.11.9.102 or clus2
For example, the command to add the cluster on the primary site to the Replicated Data Set (RDS) is:
vradmin -g dbdatadg addsec dbdata_rvg clus1 clus2
or
vradmin -g dbdatadg addsec dbdata_rvg 10.10.9.101 10.11.9.102
On the secondary site, the above command performs the following tasks:
Creates an RVG within the specified disk group using the same name as the one for the primary site
Associates the data and Storage Replicator Log (SRL) volumes that have the same names as the ones on the primary site with the specified RVG
Adds a data change map (DCM) for the data volume
Creates cluster RLINKs for the primary and secondary sites with the default names; for example, the "primary" RLINK created for this example is rlk_dbdata_clus2_dbdata_rvg and the "secondary" RLINK created is rlk_dbdata_clus1_dbdata_rvg.
If you use 10.10.9.101 and 10.11.9.102, creates cluster RLINKs for the primary and secondary sites with the default names; for example, the "primary" RLINK created for this example is rlk_10.11.9.102_dbdata_rvg and the "secondary" RLINK created is rlk_10.10.9.101_dbdata__rvg.
# vradmin -g dbdatadg -l printrvg
For example:
Replicated Data Set: dbdata_rvg Primary: HostName: 10.180.88.187 <localhost> RvgName: dbdata_rvg DgName: dbdata_vol datavol_cnt: 1 vset_cnt: 0 srl: dbdata_srl RLinks: name=rlk_clus2_dbdata_rvg, detached=on, synchronous=off Secondary: HostName: 10.190.99.197 RvgName:dbdata_rvg DgName: dbdatadg datavol_cnt: 1 vset_cnt: 0 srl: dbdata_srl RLinks: name=rlk_clus1_dbdata_rvg, detached=on, synchronous=off
