The figure above shows what happens during normal operation of a production to recovery server configuration, the Primary Context is active on the production and recovery servers. In this mode:
-
The application started by Assure MIMIX HA for AIX and Assure MIMIX DR for AIXon the production Server writes data to the local storage.
-
An Assure MIMIX DR for AIX “Data Tap” intercepts these writes as they are written to the logical volume and additionally sends them to the recovery server.
The recovery server writes the same, ordered data to another, independent storage set. These servers may be connected via a LAN or WAN.
