Quick Start Guide - Setting up ASR Replication On Two OID 10g Existing (Already Installed) Standalone Nodes (Doc ID 870128.1)

Purpose

Normally ASR replication is set up by launching the Oracle Universal Installer and then selecting High Availability->Replication->ASR.   Using this method, the installer installs a new instance and then runs the Replication Configuration Assistant, which backs up the new replica's node specific info and adds it to the master/sponsor (MDS node).   Then when remtool -asrsetup is run the first thing it does is wipe out all the entries on the new node and awaits a bulkload from the master/sponser (MDS) node.

In the special situation where maybe both nodes were installed as stand alone systems and have been running for a considerable length of time, it has been decided that replication between them is needed.  Since the data between these two systems needs to be preserved, this requires a special procedure that is outlined in this document.

Scope

Before proceeding it is recommended to study Note 300436.1 in order to have a good understanding of the internal replication setup.

The detailed documentation for this procedure may be found in various chapters of:

Oracle Internet Directory Administrator's Guide 10g (10.1.4.0.1) Part Number B15991-01

For this procedure the following terms are required:

MDS = Master Definition Site,  this is the existing node that you have designated as the sponsor node.

RMS = Remote Master Site,  this is the existing node that you have designated as the replica node.
