If D drive is a partition on a basic disk you will need to upgrade this to a SFW dynamic diskgroup and create an SRL volume, ideally on a different disk (must be in the same diskgroup). You then create an RDS which will create DCMs for you. I would initiate the synchronisation using autosync which should take a couple of hours to sync 16GB at about 20mbps
If it is a Bank, then I assume they want synchrounus replication, rather than async - is this correct?
How far apart are the 2 sites?
Is the normal bandwidth 12-13 megabits per second or MegaBytes per second (which is 96 - 104 megabits per second) and what is the peak bandwidth?
I would also ask the DBAs if they know the temp DB usage - often they don't - the last customer I asked said temp DB was less than 1% the size of database so was insignificant, but it turned out that 80% of writes went to temp, so excluding temp from replication made a huge difference. If can get an outage then it should be fairly simple to re-create temp DB spaces on separate volume which is what I would recommend.
