Resource groups and data replication components enable the Geographic Edition framework to manage data replication and takeover between clusters. For more information about configuring data replication, see the guide for the data replication product you are using:
The Geographic Edition framework extends Geographic Edition resource management features to integrate the data replication products. When you configure a protection group, the Geographic Edition framework creates replication resource groups for monitoring and controlling data replication.
A data replication component is the replication object that Geographic Edition framework monitors and manages. The data replication component is added to a Geographic Edition protection group, which can then start, stop, switch over, or take over the replication component. The Geographic Edition framework coordinates these actions between the clusters and the applications being protected.
Types of data replication components include Availability Suite device groups, Oracle Data Guard Broker configurations, Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance replicated projects, and EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility device groups. For information about configuring data replication components in Geographic Edition configurations, see the guide for the data replication product you are using.
