You can define one or two replica sites for a DFS management context. If there are already two replica sites, you must remove one of them before you can add a new one. For information or deleting a replica site, see Section 10.10, Removing a Replica Site.
In iManager, select .
Select any server with an NSS volume that is located in the DFS management context that you want to manage.
This action locates the DFS management context, lists the replica servers in that context that host instances of the VLDB service, and reports the current status of the VLDB service on each replica.
Visually verify that this is the DFS management context that you want to manage.
Click .
Browse to locate and select a server where you want to host a VLDB service for the selected DFS management context.
Specify the location where you want to put the VLDB file.
The default location is the /var/opt/novell/dfs directory.
Do one of the following:
Select if you want the service to start automatically when you start the server.
Deselect if you want to start the service manually or in a cluster environment.
Click .
This process can take up to 5 minutes. Do not click again on the page or elsewhere in the browser until the page refreshes with a message that confirms whether the addition was successful or not.
Click to dismiss the confirmation message.
The existing replica site automatically begins to synchronize the VLDB on the new site.
