I have certainly used that exact method in 5.1 and included the
class,policies etc etc using rsync and it works a  treat.

6.5 am yet to investigate the possibilities, if any.

Subject: [Veritas-bu] replicate catalog to another server

I know I have seem some people mention it and wondered if there was any
doc on the issue.

I have my prod site and my DR site.
Each has its own master.

If I set up an lpar ( for you no aix/unix people that is a virtual aix
server) that has the same name as my prod site master - but is turned
off, set up in my DR site.

Set up a san volume group on another server and rdist the volume from my
prod server that has the catalog info on it, to this other server in DR.

Now I lose my prod.

I would export the volume group from this other server in dr.

Bring up my lpar in DR and import the volume group that has the copy of
the catalog in it.

Would this new lpar in DR work like the master in prod... meaning I
would not have to do a catalog recovery or import any tapes?
