replica, and two consumers Server C and Server D that each hold a read-only
replica, you need to perform the following procedures:
• Configuring the Read-Only Replicas on the Consumer Servers
• Configuring the Read-Write Replicas on the Supplier Servers
• Initializing the Replicas for Multi-Master Replication
