Registering clusters for remote replication
Use the ibrix_cluster command to register the source and target clusters with each other. To
register the clusters for the examples, run the following command on the source cluster:
[root@ibrix01a ~]# ibrix_cluster -r -C ibrix02 -H ibrix02-fmgr
Command succeeded!
Then run the following command on the target cluster:
[root@ibrix02a ~ ]# ibrix_cluster -r -C ibrix01 -H ibrix01-fmgr
Command succeeded!
In the command:
• The -r option specifies that we are registering the clusters with each other.
• The -C option specifies the source cluster.
• The -H option specifies the DNS name for the source cluster Fusion Manager.
To list clusters registered with the current cluster, use the following command:
[root@ibrix02a ~]# ibrix_cluster -l
