About administering Volume Replicator

This chapter describes the tasks that enable you to administer the RDS, RVG, Replicator Log, and the data volumes using the VEA GUI.

The tasks specific to a Volume Replicator object are available from the right-click menu that appears when the object is selected from the Actions menu. Within this document the tasks have been grouped according to the function they perform. You can use the Properties option that is available from the object > right-click menu to view the properties of each object. For example, the Properties option that is available on the RDS right-click menu displays the properties of the RDS.

Note:

For some operations, Volume Replicator checks the volumes and locks them before proceeding any further. The operations that require the volumes to be locked are Disable Data Access, Migrate, and Takeover.

Most of the tasks that can be performed using VEA menus can also be performed using the command line options.

The following sections describe the procedure to perform each of the tasks using the VEA menus.
