Less known Solaris Features: Remote Mirror with AVS - Part 8: Conclusion

Tuesday, April 1. 2008

How can you use this feature? Some use cases are really obvious. It´s a natural match for disaster recovery. The Sun Cluster Geographic Edition even supports this kind of remote mirror out of the box to do cluster failover with wider distances than just a campus. But it´s usable for other jobs as well, for example for migrations to a new datacenter, when you have to transport a large amount data over long distances without a time window for a longer service interruption.

Thanks for the AVS walkthrough, that was very useful.

Does it have any support for two-way synchronisation? Or is it one-way only?

Very good artical. We have a DR site used only if our main center goes down, can AVS be used to Sync once every night? As we can not aford to sync more then once a day.
