IP

Address

NIC

(none)

Note:

In a non-shared storage environment, if you use the Java Console template, VvrRvgVMNSRVGGroup, to create the RVG service group, then do not recreate these resources; you modify the attributes of the existing IP and NIC resources in the service group.

To create the IP resource and NIC resource

  1. In the VCS Cluster Explorer window, select the application service group in the left pane.
  2. On the Resources tab, right-click the IP resource, and click Copy > Self and Child Nodes.
  3. In the left pane, select the RVG service group.
  4. On the Resources tab, right-click in the blank resource display area and click Paste.
  5. In the Name Clashes window, change the names of the IP and NIC resources for the RVG service group and click OK.
    Change IP and NIC resource names

To modify the IP resource and NIC

  2. In the Properties View window, for the Address attribute, click Edit.
  3. In the Edit Attribute window, enter the Volume Replicator IP address for the Primary Zone as the scalar value.

    This is the IP address you specified as the Primary side IP address while configuring the Replicated Data Set (RDS) earlier using the RDS wizard.
