RE: Starting Data Replication Question

Actually, spu12 (secondary) should be the one in recovery mode; it should be left in that state after you did the restore. I don't know what the onarchive command is (no manual here, and I've never used the beast), but make sure that you do only a "physical" restore, not a regular logical restore. With ontape, you'd want to do "ontape -p", instead of "ontape -r". Maybe you could give us the output from the message log from spu12 immediately after you do the restore?? Also, make sure that your DR... parameters in your onconfig file are set identical on both servers. HTH, Paul Mosser -----Original Message----- From: Maria C.

I have followed all the steps for a physical backup on spu11 (primary) and have restored the database on spu12 (secondary). I followed the steps on the "Universal Server Administrator's Guide", chapter 30, "Using Data Replication", section "Starting Data Replication for the First Time." These steps included using onarchive and ondatartr. Everything seems all right as far as the backup is concerned. Following the steps, I set spu11 to primary, and that works. When I try to set spu12 as secondary I get an error. The command is, onmode -d secondary spu11. The feedback is DR: Unable to change server type. The server spu11 is on the right mode, recovery, according to the manual. Any suggestions? -Maria
