Replication Scenarios
This type of configuration can work with any number of consumer servers. Each
consumer server holds a read-only replica. The consumers can receive updates
from all the suppliers. The consumers also have referrals defined for all the
suppliers to forward any update requests that the consumers receive. Such
scenarios are called multi-master configurations.
Figure 8-2 shows an example of multi-master replication scenario with two
supplier servers and two consumer servers.
Figure 8-2
Figure 8-3 shows a sample of multi-master replication scenario with four supplier
servers and eight consumer servers. In this sample setup, each supplier server is
configured with ten replication agreements to feed data to two other supplier
servers and all eight consumer servers.
