Hi all,
Currently I have a dual 5.1 MP5 master server site running on
AIX 5.2. We would like to consolidate this into a single Master Server
utilizing the WAN link for replication and converting the other Master Server
into a fail over server through clustering. The unknown for me is that the metadata
that flows back to the soon-to-be standby master server, will now need to flow
over the WAN link to the active Master Server. VRAdvisor indicates that synchronous
replication connection will require around 16 Mbps between the 2 servers for
image updates and the WAN link appears to average around 4 Mbps. I would
appreciate it if anyone has any experience or references on this I can review
before we consider starting. I would assume that bottlenecks with metadata will
impact backup performance.
Regards
