Tasks for a new replicated data cluster installation - additional applications

Configure the high availability and application components on the primary and secondary zones, then complete the Replicated Data Set solution by configuring the components for both zones.

For more information on Volume Replicator, see the Volume Replicator Administrator's Guide.

The following table outlines the high-level objectives for implementing the configuration and the tasks for each objective.
