You can create a Mirror Replication Agent instance at any time after the Mirror Replication Agent software is installed by invoking ma_admin with the -c option or using the Administrator GUI utility.
The complete syntax is:
ma_admin -c new_inst -p port_num [-f old_inst]
where:
new_inst is the name of the new Mirror Replication Agent instance you are creating.
port_num is the client socket port number for the administration port of the new Mirror Replication Agent instance.
old_inst is the name of an existing Mirror Replication Agent instance whose configuration you want to duplicate for the new Mirror Replication Agent instance.
You must specify the -f option to copy an existing configuration.
For information about creating a Mirror Replication Agent instance based on the configuration of an existing instance, see “Copying a Mirror Replication Agent configuration”.
