To configure VVR between primary and secondary nodes

1. Obtain the primary disk group ID.

   # vxprint -l  vvrdg

2. Open the /etc/vx/vras/.rdg file on the primary node.
3. Append the disk group ID in the /etc/vx/vras/.rdg file.

   Note:

   Ensure that each disk group ID entry in the .rdg file is on a separate line.

4. Open the /etc/vx/vras/.rdg file on the secondary node.
5. Append the disk group ID in the /etc/vx/vras/.rdg file.

   Note:

   Ensure that each disk group ID entry in the .rdg file is on a separate line.

6. From the primary node, plumb for any random IP address on a network interface.
7. From the secondary node, plumb for any random IP address on a network interface.
8. Verify that you can ping these IP addresses from both the nodes.

   # ifconfig network_interface inet primary_IP netmask \
    subnet_mask up
   # ifconfig network_interface inet secondary_IP netmask \
    subnet_mask up

9. Create the primary RVGs (Replicated Volume Group) of the RDS (Replicated Data Set) by using the following command for all the volumes that you want to replicate.

   # vradmin -g vvrdg createpri vvrdg_datavol_rvg datavol datavol_srl
   # vradmin -g vvrdg createpri vvrdg_archvol_rvg archvol archvol_srl

10. Create secondary RVGs of the same name as the primary RVGs and add them to the RDS.

    # vradmin -g vvrdg addsec vvrdg_datavol_rvg primary_IP \
     secondary_IP
    # vradmin -g vvrdg addsec vvrdg_archvol_rvg primary_IP \
     secondary_IP

11. Start replication to the secondary node.

    # vradmin -g vvrdg -a startrep vvrdg_datavol_rvg secondary_IP
    # vradmin -g vvrdg -a startrep vvrdg_archvol_rvg secondary_IP

12. Stop replication.

    # vradmin -g vvrdg -f -s stoprep vvrdg_datavol_rvg secondary_IP
    # vradmin -g vvrdg -f -s stoprep vvrdg_archvol_rvg secondary_IP
