Adding or Deleting Replicates From a Replicate Set

About this task

To add a replicate to an existing replicate set, use the command cdr change replicateset --add. For example, to add two replicates to sales_set, enter:
cdr change replicateset --add sales_set sales_kauai \
   sales_moorea
The state of the replicate when you add it to a replicate set depends on the type of replicate set:
  • For a non-exclusive replicate set, the state of the new replicate remains as it was when you added it to the set. To bring all the replicates in the non-exclusive set to the same state, use one of the commands described in Managing Replicate Sets.
  • For an exclusive replicate set, Enterprise Replication changes the existing state and replication frequency settings of the replicate to the current properties of the exclusive replicate set.

To delete a replicate from the replicate set, use cdr change replicate --delete.

For example, to delete the two replicates, sales_kauai and sales_moorea, from the replicate set, enter:
cdr change replicateset --delete sales_set sales_kauai\
   sales_moorea

When you add or remove a replicate from an exclusive replicate set that is suspended or that is defined with a frequency interval, Enterprise Replication transmits all the data in the queue for the replicates in the replicate set up to the point when you added or removed the replicate.
