Cluster GEO integration with VVR oracle database : steps order

This is how I do it

1. Create replication group in VVR with virtual replication IP, but not RVG resource and online group
2. Configure VVR (create RDS) with virtual IP configured in VCS
3. Add RVG resource in replication group 
4. Add RVGPrimary resource to application group
5. Configure global cluster
6. Configure application group as a global service group
7. Test you can switch global service group locally and across sites

Just to add you can automate all these steps if you want as they can all be done from the command line - best thing to do is to do manually and then look at /etc/VRTSvcs/conf/config/main.cmd for commands to create GCO objects (remote cluster, heartbeats, ClusterList service group attribute, hares -add/modify))

Hi,

In a normal scenario, diskgroup & filesystems will be imported on primary site while secondary site will only have diskgroup imported but you can't mount volumes. If all the VVR related daemons & vxconfigd is working on secondary site, using vradmin commands you could configure VVR without needing to mount filesystem manually.

For IP address, yes you need to have IP address plumed & working on secondary site in order to communicate with primary site.
