Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance remote replication with Geographic Edition is developed with the script-based plug-in module of Geographic Edition. Your appliance replication configuration must comply with all rules of the script-based plug-in. For each protection group, you must provide a script-based plug-in configuration file on each node. In addition, the Geographic Edition module for appliance replication includes its own configuration file, which is needed only at registration.
Creation of the appliance replication protection group for Geographic Edition is an automated process that takes the appliance configuration file as input and performs the necessary actions. The essential content of this file consists of the following key=value pairs:
Name of the partnership
Name of the protection group
Name of the appliance project that is replicated from the primary site to the secondary site
Name of the replication resource that monitors appliance project replication
Name of the replication resource group to contain the replication resource
Description for the protection group
Application resource groups, one or more, which contain at least an HAStoragePlus or ScalMountPoint resource. A resource group can belong to only one protection group.
Configuration file for the script-based plug-in evaluation rules
Source appliance connection string, in the form user@hostname at the local site
Target appliance connection string, in the form user@hostname at the remote site
Oracle Solaris Cluster device groups, separated by commas
