Storage Foundation Veritas Volume Replicator
HI, I have a SF for windows with VVR in my infrastructure. I have 2 Node VCS Cluster of Exchange at Primary site and 1 Node VCS Cluster of Exchange at DR site without GCO. I have HP Storage at primary site with 13 volumes and NetApp Storage at DR site with 13 Volumes as well. Due to some problem at primary site my production is now at DR site means rite now my Secondary become primary and Primary become Secondary. So i replicate the data from DR to Primary using VVR and is running successfully. Now i want to move HP from Primary site which is passive and install New NetApp and configure the volume at primary site(Passive) and i want to replicate the Data from DR(Acive) to Primary's(Passive) HP and as well as NetApp for the time being. Is it possible to replicate the data one to many means can i replicate the data from DR(Active) NetApp to Primary's(Passive) HP and NetApp??? My Bandwidth is good which is 10GB. IF Yes? then how??.

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 GomezVVR cross platform replication
The VVR 5.1 admin guide, in the "Cross-platform Data Sharing in VVR" section says: Refer to the Veritas Storage Foundation Cross-Platform Data SharingAdministrator’s Guide for more information. I have looked on SORT and I can only find a 5.0 version and this does not mention VVR as I believe cross platform replication has only been available since 5.1. Can anyone provide me an URL for this doc (and what search string/section I should use in SORT to find this). In SORT I searched for "cross platform replication" and I got several links all pointing to a very short document: Cross-platform data sharing Cross-platform data sharing (CDS) allows data to be serially shared among heterogeneous systems where each system has direct access to the physical devices that hold the data. This feature can be used only in conjunction with Veritas Volume Manager (VxVM). See theVeritas Storage Foundation Cross-Platform Data Sharing Administrator's Guide. But the last line is not a hyper link, so this did not help. Mike
