Before you configure Oracle MaxRep for SAN, you will need to set up your Oracle FS Systems for replication and install the necessary Oracle MaxRep agent on the application server that will be accessing or managing the Oracle MaxRep Replication Engine.
Initially, you need to configure the source and target LUNs for your replication pairs on your Oracle FS Systems, and, if you are using application consistency, install the Oracle MaxRep agent on your application servers. Use the Oracle MaxRep agent if you have application servers that need application consistency checks. If you do not have application servers to protect, then Oracle MaxRep for SAN provides crash consistent recovery.
