Expanding the Replicator Log

The Replicator Log must be large enough to meet the constraints. However, these constraints can change with the changes in the business needs, application write rate, available network bandwidth, and so on. As a result, it becomes necessary to redetermine the appropriate size of the Replicator Log. This section describes how to expand the Replicator Log on the Primary.

Before expanding the Replicator Log, verify that there is enough free space in the disk group in which the Replicator Log resides, by checking the Properties for the disks in the disk group through the VEA disk group view. Also, verify that the RVG host whose Replicator Log we are resizing is connected to VEA.

Note:

Veritas recommends that size of Replicator Log volume should be same on all hosts within an RDS.

To expand the Replicator Log on the Primary

  1. Select the volume that is used as the Replicator Log from the Volumes node in the tree view. Right-click and select the Expand Volume option. Specify the new value for the Replicator Log size in the New volume size field and click OK.
  2. Alternatively, you can also select the Replicator Log volume from the Primary RVG. Right-click and select the Expand Volume option. Specify the new value for the Replicator Log in the New Size field and click OK.

    The Expand volume option resizes the Replicator Log on the Primary as well as the associated Bunker nodes.
