Interpreting the information in the monitor view

The information that is displayed in the monitor view helps you to understand and track the replication progress. The following sections describe how you can interpret the information in the monitor view to obtain the required statistics. It also explains how to interpret and understand the error conditions.

The information fields that are displayed in the Monitor view correspond to those in the output of the vxrlink stats command and the vxrlink status command. The vxrlink stats command is used to obtain the network statistics when you work with command line options whereas the Monitor view can be used when you work with the graphical user interface.

Each row in the monitor view represents information for an RDS, and displays information such as the Primary RVG for the RDS, Log Usage by the Primary RVG and the Secondary hosts that are associated with the RDS. If there are multiple Secondary hosts, then each of them is listed in a separate row. The Monitor View has scroll bars that help you to move across the window from left to right and vice versa. You can change the width of the columns by dragging the column separators to suit your requirements. If the host has multiple RDSs then the monitor view displays information for all the RDSs.

The following tables explain the columns that are displayed in the monitor view. They have been grouped according to the purpose they serve.
