During data replication, data from a primary cluster is copied to a backup or secondary cluster. The secondary cluster can be located at a geographically separated site from the primary cluster. This distance depends on the distance support that is available from your data replication product.
Geographic Edition software supports the use of the Availability Suite remote mirror feature of Oracle Solaris software for data replication. Before you can replicate data with Availability Suite feature of Oracle Solaris software, you must be familiar with the Availability Suite documentation, have the Availability Suite product, and have the latest Availability Suite software updates installed on your system.
This chapter describes the procedures for configuring data replication with the Availability Suite feature. This chapter contains the following sections:
