Solaris disaster recovery solution for asynchronous remote mirroring
Hi people,
I need a Solaris non-expensive software to create a disaster recovery solution for my 2 Sun Fire 280R located on different sites, aprox. at 600km. I think on an asynchronous remote mirroring to avoid networking bandwidth and for applications that run on them, can be possible to have 2 or 4 hours
to sync content.
I know VERITAS Volume Replicator (integrated on Volume Manager) and Sun StorEdge Availability Suite Software but price is not good.
Can it be possible to use of Solaris Flash and Solaris Live Upgrade Technology ? What is your experience about ? ( "Provisioning in Replicated, Mission-Critical Environments" Sun Blueprint March-2003)
Can I use Solstice Disksuite or Solaris Volume Manager Diskset objects for it ? I think that no, because uses synchronous mirroring, am I wrong ?
Can anybody help me ?
Thank you and best regards.

Hi,
For storage software, we have AV Suite, as you mentioned, and we have SAM-Remote as part of our Utilization Suite. SAM-Remote allows you to do file replication over TCP/IP connection.
For specifics on Solaris, you probably want to post this message on the Solaris discussion forum.

Hi,
Previously, I've heared an async. remote mirroring software with Sun StorEdge Network Data Replicator but Sun guys said me that this product is now included in Sun StorEdge Availability Suite as you suggest.
Do you know how is licensed ? Per machine (node) ?
At this case, what Tier does Sun Fire 280R have ?

We do both asynch and synchronous mode.SNDR is part of Availability Suite, now. It is not priced by server tier. The replication piece is priced by capacity (i.e. $/gigabyte of data being replicated).
I think we are priced very competitively, but you should have pricing discussions with your Sun sales rep.
Take Care!

Hi again,I ask my Sun Sales person and SNDR or Availability Suite now is expensive for me.I think now on Solaris snapshot feature and to send via ftp, scp or rsync to the other server in point-in-time periods.Any people has experienced on this idea ?Thanks

Constant Replicator from Constant Data is a cross platform real time
solution that will help you with this. You can download a free trial copy from
www.constantdata.com.
It is priced very competitively. Try it, I am sure you will be happy. Especially
with your long haul net. Some users are actually doing transatlatic
replication with this product.
