Chapter 10. Managing Geo-replication
This section introduces geo-replication, illustrates the various deployment scenarios, and explains how to configure geo-replication and mirroring.
10.1. About Geo-replication
Geo-replication provides a distributed, continuous, asynchronous, and incremental replication service from one site to another over Local Area Networks (LANs), Wide Area Networks (WANs), and the Internet.
Geo-replication uses a master–slave model, where replication and mirroring occurs between the following partners:
- Master – a Red Hat Storage volume.
- Slave – a Red Hat Storage volume. A slave volume can be either a local volume, such as
localhost::volname, or a volume on a remote host, such asremote-host::volname.
Where did the comment section go?
Red Hat's documentation publication system recently went through an upgrade to enable speedier, more mobile-friendly content. We decided to re-evaluate our commenting platform to ensure that it meets your expectations and serves as an optimal feedback mechanism. During this redesign, we invite your input on providing feedback on Red Hat documentation via the discussion platform.
