Setting up multiple replicas at one site
This sample task creates a Windows® replica from a Linux® or UNIX® system replica.
About this task
Creating a replica of an existing VOB does not split the storage. On the contrary, the new replica requires additional disk space to accommodate another complete copy of the VOB's database and storage pools. For information about relocating VOB data, see the Help.
If both replicas are on Linux® or UNIX® system-based hosts or in the same Windows® domain, they can preserve identities. Any change in the owner, group, or access mode of an element at one of the replicas is propagated to the other replica.
Procedure
-
On the Linux®
or the UNIX® system
host, use mkreplica
–export to export the packet that will create the new replica on the Windows®
host.
