Administering Data Replication in an SRDF Protection Group

This section summarizes the steps for configuring SRDF data replication in a protection group.

Table 1-1 Administration Tasks for SRDF Data Replication

Task
Description
Perform an initial configuration of the SRDF software.
Create a protection group that is configured for SRDF data replication.
Add a device group that is controlled by SRDF.
Add application resource groups to the protection group.
Replicate the protection group configuration to a secondary cluster.
Activate the protection group.
Verify the protection group configuration.
Perform a trial a switchover or takeover and test some simple failure scenarios before bringing your system online. See Chapter 3, Migrating Services That Use SRDF Data Replication.

Note - You cannot perform personality swaps if you are running SRDF/Asynchronous data replication.


Check the runtime status of replication.
Detect failure.
Migrate services by using a switchover.
See Migrating Services That Use SRDF Data Replication With a Switchover.

Note - You cannot perform personality swaps if you are running SRDF/Asynchronous data replication.


Migrate services by using a takeover.
Recover data after forcing a takeover.
