Question about VxVM and VVR over AIX HACMP?
Hi, I'm trying to figure out what's steps are necesary to acomplish this: I have a Customer with two datacenters located far from each other, they have theirs primary datacenter with a two AIX Power7 SI -HACMP / GPFS / ORACLE RAC / CLUSTER by the Oracle RAC; they want to replicate this date with VVR to a secondary site with same configuration; the primary site is running at this time and We want to create minimal disturbance in the current environment and help them to replicate the ORacle data to the secondary site with VVR. Can We get control of these disk at the primary site with VxVM without any consideration or the customer have to put additional space and transfer current data to the new VxVM volumens? Thay have to modify additional things inside de HACMP to work with ours VxVM? They need to control de VVR replication at the command line or SMIT? The HACMP is aware of VVR or not? They have AIX 6.1, Oracle 10G, IBM DS5000 FC Storage boxes and 10MB (100Mbps) it's the bandwith of the replication channel? Thanks for your help, Best Regards, Gonzalo Gomez
VVR snap and db backup mode
Hi all, is it mandatory to put a db in backup mode when taking a snapshot on secondary?and why? Having the data consistent, but not up to date we usually pause the replication and take the snapshot; we did it on 2 different enviroments: AIX 5.3 SF5MP1rp5 7TB AIX 5.3 SF5MP3rp1 7TB Thanks in advance Regards Marco
