Using Bidirectional Replication for Disaster Recovery › Configure NFS Exports

Configure NFS Exports

The administration and configuration software varies with the appliance, so we do not provide specific steps to define the replicated NFS exports. For information about setting up replication for your appliances, see your appliance documentation.

As an example, you perform the following steps:

  1. Define the NFS exports on the primary appliance so that the PDC can create Virtual Volumes. The primary appliance is locally available to the Linux System at the PDC.
  2. Create:
    1. An NFS export for PROD./ files with a name like pdc_mp21 for Production Data Center Group 21 Virtual Volumes mount point. This NFS export is mounted as read/write on the Linux system.
    2. Configure the NFS export to replicate data to the secondary appliance.
    3. An NFS export for PROD./ files with a name like drc_mp31 to match the name of the NFS export from the secondary appliance. This NFS export is mounted as read only on the Linux system.
  3. Define the NFS exports on the secondary appliance so that the DRC creates Virtual Volumes. The secondary appliance is locally available to the Linux System at the DRC.
  4. Create:
    1. An NFS export for PROD./ files with a name like drc_mp31 for Disaster Recovery Center Group 31 Virtual Volumes mount point. This NFS export is mounted read/write on the Linux system.
    2. Configure the NFS export to replicate data to the primary appliance.
    3. An NFS export for PROD./ files with a name like pdc_mp21 to match the name of the NFS export from the primary appliance. This NFS export is mounted as read only on the Linux system.
