Configuring Cascading Replication
Initializing the Replicas for Multi-Master
Replication
In the case of multi-master replication, you should initialize replicas in the
following order:
Ensure one master has the complete set of data to replicate. Use this master to
1.
initialize the replica on the other master in the multi-master replication set.
Initialize the replicas on the consumer servers from any one of the two masters.
2.
For information on initializing replicas, refer to "Initializing Consumers," on page
307.
Configuring Cascading Replication
This section provides information on setting up cascading replication. The steps
described in this section provide a high-level overview of the procedures you need
to follow and cross references to the detailed task descriptions are provided at each
step.
To set up cascading replication such as the configuration shown in Figure 8-3 on
page 282, between the supplier on Server A that holds a read-write replica, the
consumer/supplier on Hub Server B that holds a read-only replica, and the
consumer on Server C that holds a read-only replica, you need to perform the
following procedures:
•
Configuring the Read-Only Replica on the Consumer Server
•
Configuring the Read-Only Replica on the Hub Supplier
•
Configuring the Read-Write Replica on the Supplier Server
•
Initializing the Replicas for Cascading Replication
Configuring the Read-Only Replica on the
Consumer Server
On the consumer server, create the database for the replica if it does not exist.
