The DR Wizard does not provide a separate "GCO only" option for VVR-based replication

Last published : Oct 01, 2026
The Disaster Recovery Configuration Wizard provides a "GCO only" option for hardware array-based replication only, not for VVR-based replication. If this option is selected, before proceeding to GCO configuration, the wizard creates a storage and service group configuration intended for use in hardware array-based replication and incorrect for a VVR configuration. For VVR replication you should instead choose the option to configure both VVR Replication and GCO. (1184660)
If you do not want the wizard to configure the VVR replication but only GCO, you do the following:
To configure GCO only
  1. Select the option Configure Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR) and the Global Cluster Option (GCO)
  2. Exit the wizard after configuring the service group.
  3. Configure VVR replication without using the wizard.
  4. Restart the wizard and select the same VVR and GCO replication option.
The wizard recognizes that the VVR replication settings are complete, and enables you to proceed to GCO configuration.
