How do I verify my data size that will be replicated through VVR
I need to find a way to figure out the Mb/sec (Mb=Megabits) that will be replicated to my offsite and the pipe size I need in order to stay insync. I have been testing VVR and have all of my setting in place with everything working correctly. But with a 10Mb VPN internet pipe I have the line pegged at 10Mb all the time and am never able to catchup. When I looked at Performance monitor, Physical and Logical disks I am only generating about 4Mb/sec of disk writes which is what is being replicated the the offsite. Am I looking at the wrong data for my replication size needed? Is there a way to verify the Mb/sec that are going to be written the my offsite prior to starting VVR? NOTE: If you are having similar problems make sure to read the whole thread, there were mutliple solutions that were needed to verify and fix the problem of the data never catching up completely.

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??.

THe use of VVR on SAN or virtual NAS hardware ?
Hi All, I am now using Virtual NAS OpenFiler on my old 2U rack server and also EMC CX4-120 SAN so I wonder what would be the advantage of using this Symantec Technology ? EMC MirrorView license is very expensive and I wonder if VVR can also work on Virtual appliance which runs on top of VMWare ESXi ? Thanks

VVR has 2 primaries
I have successfully installed NBU on both nodes. Thanks for the help everyone. The only outstanding issue I now have is with the replication. If this needs to be a new post in a different section let me know! I have run the Volume Replicator Agent Configuration wizard successfully and my initial testing of failing between nodes went perfectly. However, at some point during the testing both nodes have ended up thinking that they are the primary in the GUI and I cannot see the secondaries listed,although everything looks correct in VCS and I can still bring everything online on each side with no errors. Something clearly isn't right with it though. I have tried deleting the RDS in the GUI and using commands to create it again, but it seems to be somewhat stuck and I can't seem to remove it or change anything now! Here's the output on what should be the primary node: C:\>vradmin -g NBUCATDG takeover nbuRVG Error occurred on host HOST1. Error V-106-58644-541: Primary takeover is not supported in present configuratio n. C:\>vradmin -g NBUCATDG stoprep nbuRVG HOST2 Error occurred on host HOST2. Error V-106-58644-528: Cannot complete operation. RDS is incomplete, either prim ary or secondary node is missing. C:\>vradmin -g NBUCATDG delsec nbuRVG HOST2 Error occurred on host HOST1. Error V-106-58644-513: This operation cannot be performed in present state of th e configuration. Please try again. C:\>vradmin -g NBUCATDG -f delpri nbuRVG Failed to perform the operation. Error V-106-58644-698: Operation not allowed. The RVG cluster resource is alread y configured for this RVG. Use -f option to forcefully stop it. C:\>vradmin -g NBUCATDG -f delrds nbuRDS Failed to perform the operation. Error V-107-58644-917: Cannot identify the correct RDS. C:\>vradmin -l printrvg Replicated Data Set : nbuRDS Primary : Hostname : HOST1 <localhost> RvgName : nbuRVG DgName : NBUCATDG Datavol_cnt : 1 Srl : vvrlog Rlinks: Name = rlk_primary ,rlink_state = ACTIVE, synchronous = override UPDATE: After switching back to what should be the secondary node (HOST2) I found that most of the above commands give a different error: "Error V-106-58644-697: Cannot perform this operation on an acting secondary RVG". Howeverin the VEAGUI it is listed as the primary.

How to check VVR replication status
Hi, one of our customers is using storage foundation 6.0 for Windows and they use VVR to replicate volumes from production site to dr site. The replication is in asynchronous mode. My question is: How to check VVR replication status? Is there a way to show the replication progress such as how many percentages have been replicated and/or how long it takes to complete the replication? Thanks in advance.

Hi, I have volume replicated two servers one is in myDC& another in DR in different geographic location. As due to some technical falult the DR server was not reachable for 2 days so replication hampered. After the DR server is up but till date the DCM log is gradually increasing day by day. Can anyone help me in rectify this, if I have to do DC - DR drill is it possible or feasable to do that till the logs cleared. Please help. Thanks in advance.
