This section describes two materialization procedures for Mirror Activator databases in Adaptive Server version 12.5.1 or later:
Materializing the standby database (required when the Mirror Activator system is set up)
Re-materializing the primary database for failback
Both of these procedures use the snapshot materialization technique, which is described in “Materialization options”.
The materialization procedures in this section take advantage of the Adaptive Server mount command, introduced in version 12.5.1. Using mount simplifies the materialization procedure by allowing you to “create” devices at the target site, using the disk replication system’s snapshot (or point-in-time copy) feature, and then mount those devices in the target Adaptive Server, without initializing the devices, creating an empty database, and shutting down and restarting the server.
To materialize a database in Adaptive Server version 12.5.1 or later, you can use either the procedures in this section, or the procedures in “Materializing databases in ASE 12.5.0.3”.
You cannot use the procedures in
this section to materialize a database in Adaptive Server version
12.5.0.3. You must use the procedures in “Materializing databases in ASE 12.5.0.3”.
