Adding a Secondary

Last published : Jun 19, 2026
In Management Server console, you can add a secondary to the replicated volume group. You can also synchronize the secondary data volumes with the primary data volumes and start the replication.
To perform this task, your user group must be assigned the Admin role on the host or the Server perspective. The permission on the host may be explicitly assigned or inherited from a parent Organization.
To add a Secondary and start replication
  1. In the Management Server console, go to the Server perspective and expandManage in the left pane.
  2. Do one of the following:
    • Expand Applications, expand** Databases . Right-click the required database and select Replication**>Add secondary.
    • Expand Uncategorized Hosts or anOrganization, expand the host, and expand** RVGs**. Right-click the required RVG and select** Add secondary**.
  3. In the Configure replication - Consistency check on secondary host wizard panel, you can check for configuration consistency result. Click Close.
  4. In the Configure replication - Replication settings for secondary host wizard panel, select the accept attributes for the secondary. Click Finish.
  5. In the Configure replication - Add secondary result wizard panel, verify that the secondary has been added successfully and the replication has started. If you want to add another secondary, click on Add secondary tab. If you do not want to add another secondary, click Close.
    Note: If any operation fails after you have created any object, you can rollback the action of creating the object.
