Installation and Configuration of Availability Suite Software

Language:

This section describes the steps you must perform to install and configure Availability Suite replication software in the Geographic Edition product.

The example protection group, avspg, in this section has been configured on a partnership that consists of two clusters, cluster-paris and cluster-newyork. An application, which is encapsulated in the apprg1 resource group, is protected by the avspg protection group. The application data is contained in the avsdg device group. The volumes in the avsdg device group can be Solaris Volume Manager volumes or raw device volumes.

The resource group, apprg1, and the device group, avsdg, are present on both the cluster-paris cluster and the cluster-newyork cluster. The avspg protection group protects the application data by replicating data between the cluster-paris cluster and the cluster-newyork cluster.

Note - Replication of each device group requires a logical host on the local cluster and a logical host on the partner cluster.

You cannot use the slash character (/) in a cluster tag in the Geographic Edition software. If you are using raw DID devices, you cannot use predefined DID device group names such as dsk/s3.

To use DIDs with raw device groups, see How to Set Up Raw-Disk Device Groups for Geographic Edition Systems.
