Setting up the Bunker RVG for replication

You can add a Bunker RVG to an existing RDS without interrupting the replication. Each Bunker node can support replay to one or more Secondaries. Multiple Bunker nodes can be associated with each Primary. A Primary host with multiple Bunker nodes is useful if a disaster occurs on a Bunker node, while replaying to the Secondary. In that case, the second Bunker node can take care of replaying the rest of the pending data to the Secondary. You do not need to have a dedicated network bandwidth between the Bunker node and the Secondary, as the connection is used only during the recovery process after a disaster.

On the Bunker node, create the Bunker RVG with only the Replicator Log volume and no data volumes. Make sure that appropriate RLINKs from the Bunker to the Primary and Secondary nodes, and vice versa, exist.
