You can configure and set up the replication by performing certain tasks.
To configure and set up replication, the tasks should be performed in the following order:
Create the Primary RVG.
Add a Secondary to the RVG.
Synchronize the Secondary and start Replication
You can set up an RDS on the Primary host and one Secondary host, using the Setup Replicated Data Set Wizard. You can add more Secondaries later, using the Add Secondary wizard.
The Setup Replicated Data Set wizard requires only the disk group with the data volumes to be created on the Primary host. This wizard enables you to create the Replicator Log volume for the Primary as you create the RDS. It can also create the same configuration on the Secondary host. However, if you have created the required disk group, the data volumes and the Replicator Log volumes on all the hosts beforehand, then the wizard proceeds with creating RDS without displaying options for creating volumes.
Volume Replicator also provides some advanced options that enable you to specify some additional replication properties. The following sections discuss these properties.
