This chapter shows how to use the MetroCluster/SRDF environment file template to set up data replication between the primary and secondary packages in a Continental Cluster that uses the EMC Symmetrix Disk Array with the Symmetrix Remote Data Facility (SRDF). These packages run on different clusters within the Continental cluster configuration. It is assumed that readers are already familiar with MC/ServiceGuard configuration tasks, MC/ServiceGuard Continental Cluster concepts and installation procedures, EMC Symmetrix and SRDF concepts and SymCLI configuration and use.

This chapter has the following sections:




	NOTE: This chapter is for ContinentalClusters users only. Users of MetroCluster with EMC SRDF should not use the procedures in this chapter. Refer instead to Chapter 4, "Building a Metropolitan Cluster Using MetroCluster/SRDF."
