Veritas Volume Replicator


Dear Team,

i have some task to use SNDR or VERITAS Volume Replicator,

i picked VERITAS Volume Replicator for remote mirroring.

before using and deploying this on production site. i want to use it on the test environment. i am downloading it.

my test environment is

2 SUN Ultra 25 Sparc machines on same network.

i want to install VVR on one ultra and then from network or VVR can i do replication on the remote machine?


please guide, im using it for the 1st time.
  • In order to replicate with VVR, it must be installed on both machines.

    Would strongly recommend you read the following documents to get a better understanding of how VVR works and what is required:
    (links below are for VVR 5.1 on Solaris, if using a different version see http://vos.symantec.com/documents - html versions are also available here)

    VVR 5.1 (Solaris) Administrator's Guide:
    http://sfdoccentral.symantec.com/sf/5.1/solaris/pdf/vvr_admin.pdf

    VVR 5.1 (Solaris) Planning and Tuning Guide:
    http://sfdoccentral.symantec.com/sf/5.1/solaris/pdf/vvr_planning.pdf

    If you still have questions after going through the above, then you can post more specific questions to follow up.

  • Do you have VVR downloaded ?If you use 5.0xx , you will need license for VxVM/VVR Gaurav
  • If both the nodes are on same network. Then take care of bandwidth for data replication. Unstable network health cause replication disconnection.
