Create second RDS using volumes from same disk group in Veritas volume replicator
Hi all, I have one query. I have one disk group with 5 volumes, which are more than 2 TB and are configured for replication. Now i want to add 2 more volumes in the RDS but it will resync all the volumes after adding these 2 volumes, so is it possible to make second RDS for only those 2 new volumes. Also can we use same IP for replication.

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.

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.

VVR 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
