The procedure for installing and configuring SFW HA-VVR with Enterprise Vault is similar to the procedure that the Veritas Storage Foundation and High Availability Solutions Guide describes.

In this scenario, there is a source host on the primary site and a destination host on the secondary site. The application data is stored on the primary site and replicated to the secondary site by using the Veritas Volume Replicator (VVR). The primary site provides data and services during normal operation. If a disaster occurs on the primary site and its data is destroyed, a secondary host can take over the role of the primary host to make the data accessible. The application can be restarted on that host.

This example has one disk group on each site for the application. Note that a VVR replicator log is needed on each site. If there are multiple disk groups, an additional replicator log is required for each one.
