This feature is for customers to be able to install Assure MIMIX for AIX, configure a non-clustered replication group, and start replication without stopping their applications that are already running.
For a non-clustered replication group, you can start replication in non-Disruptive Startup Mode in two ways:
-
From the command line, use the rtstart command with the -r option on the production and recovery server to start the replication group. Refer to rtstart.
rtstart -C <Context ID> -r-
From the Assure UI portal, select “Mounted” in the File Systems column drop-down menu in the Start Replication Group dialog.
This feature is intended to be used only once during the initial configuration, the loading of the Assure MIMIX for AIX drivers and the full synchronization of data.
Before stopping the replication group, the user's application must be stopped first. When the replication group is stopped the filesystems will be unmounted by Assure MIMIX for AIX and the drivers will be unloaded. Refer to rtstop.
To restart the replication group:
-
From the command line, use the rtstart command without the -r option on the production and recovery server to start the replication group. Refer to rtstart.
rtstart -C <Context ID>-
From the Assure UI portal, select Not Mounted in the File Systems column drop-down menu in the Start Replication Group dialog.
