Observe the following guidelines and restrictions when planning your Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance remote replication configuration:
Supported versions of Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance software – See the Oracle Solaris Cluster 4 Compatibility Guide for current information about the versions of Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance software that are supported with Geographic Edition software. This document requires My Oracle Support login.
Support for zone clusters as partner members – Zone clusters using Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance replication are supported as members of a Geographic Edition partnership, by themselves or in combination with global clusters.
Restriction for synchronous replication – Continuous replication is asynchronous. Oracle ZFS Storage appliances do not currently support synchronous replication, which does not consider data to be committed to stable storage until it is committed to stable storage on both the primary and secondary storage systems.
Quorum devices – Do not configure a replicated volume as a quorum device. Locate any quorum devices on a shared, unreplicated volume or use a quorum server.
Project replication – Only project level replication is supported.
Limit of one action per project – Each project that is managed by Geographic Edition software can have only one action on the source with its paired package on the target. Multiple actions or packages are not supported for a project that is managed by Geographic Edition software.
For guidelines and requirements by Oracle ZFS Storage Appliance software, see the Oracle ZFS Storage online documentation at https://appliance-hostname:215/wiki, where appliance-hostname is the name of your storage appliance.
