Creating the RVG service group


Creating the RVG service group
Prev	Configuring a RVG service group for replication	Next

To contain the resources for replication, you need to create a hybrid replicated volume (RVG) service group.

Note:

If you are creating a DR configuration manually in a non-shared storage environment, create a failover type of RVG service group.

To create a RVG service group

From VCS Cluster Manager (Java Console), log on to the cluster.
In the VCS Cluster Explorer window, right-click the cluster in the left pane and select Add Service Group.
In the Add Service Group window, do the following, in the order presented:
- Enter a name for the service group. Choose a service group name that is meaningful for the type of application you are using. This example adds a FileShare RVG service group called FS_RVG_SG.
- Select the systems in the primary zone (zone 0) and click the right arrow to add them to the service group.
- Select Hybrid.
  
  Note:
  
  If you are creating the RVG service group for a DR configuration in a non-shared storage environment, select Failover.
- Click OK.

Note:

If you are setting up replication in a non-shared storage environment, you can use the replication service group template, VvrRvgVMNSRVGGroup, available in the Java Console. For an RDC configuration, ensure that you select the service group type as Hybrid while creating the service group using the Configuration Wizard from Java Console.
