Features of VVR

The features of VERITAS Volume Replicator (VVR) include:

• Replicates data for up to 32 remote locations over any IP network in a LAN or WAN environment.
• Can be configured to work with any storage hardware supported by VERITAS Volume Manager.
• Provides volume-level replication of application or file system data, which includes support for all commercial database management systems, such as Oracle, DB2, Sybase, and Informix.
• Easily accommodates growth of application data and system configurations.
• Supports replication of VxVM ISP (Intelligent Service Provisioning) volumes in an RVG, provided all the volumes are of the same type.
• Performs replication of volume groups in asynchronous or synchronous modes, ensuring data integrity and consistency in both modes.
• Maintains write-order fidelity, which applies writes on the Secondary host in the same order that they were issued on the Primary host.
• Provides the command-line interface and the graphical interface for online management of the VVR environment.
• Provides multiple methods to synchronize the data at the Secondary location with the data at the Primary location.
• Enables you to easily recover your application at the remote site.
• Supports off-host processing such as Decision Support Systems (DSS) and backup, by enabling you to break off a consistent mirror or snapshot of the data volumes on the Secondary to use for these operations.
