If RVGs are created manually with mismatched names, the DR Wizard does not recognize the RVG on the secondary site and attempts to create the secondary RVG

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
The Disaster Recovery Wizard configures VVR replication for you. However, if you choose to configure the replication outside of the DR Wizard, ensure that you use the same names for the RDS and RVG on both sites. Otherwise, if the secondary site has a different RVG name than the primary, when you run the wizard, the wizard finds the primary site RVG information but does not recognize the misnamed secondary site RVG. On the replication action page, creation of the secondary RVG fails. (1214003)
Workaround: Rename the misnamed RVG on the secondary site to match the primary site. You can run the wizard again and continue with GCO configuration. Refer to the Volume Replicator Administrator's Guide for more information on implementing VVR manually.
