Export phase
The export phase of the replica creation process occurs at the
original site. This phase consists of running the export form of the mkreplica command,
taking a backup of the original VOB (specifically including the fact that
the VOB has now been replicated), and verifying that the replica-related changes
occurred.
Before you begin
Before you can start the export phase of VOB replica creation, you must have satisfied all of the prerequisites described under Prerequisites for creating a new VOB replica.
About this task
These steps take place at the original site.
Procedure
What to do next
Attention: Do not modify any properties of the new replica
at this point. If you must change any properties, you must first import the
replica-creation packet at the new site, export an update packet from the
new replica, and import the packet at the original replica.
If you specified the –fship (force ship) option to the mkreplica command (as shown in the preceding example code), you can proceed to the import phase of the replica creation process. The transport phase of the replica creation process has already been executed because the –fship option causes the packet to be shipped automatically.
Note: Although our example
did not show this method, you could have used the–ship option
to the mkreplica command, which would have placed
the replica-creation packet in the storage bay, rather than sending it immediately
to the new replica's site. If you specified –ship when
creating the replica, you would be required to ship the packet manually using
the procedures shown in the transport
phase of the replica creation process before you could go to the import phase.
