Based on the test replication results and the total amount
of data that you want to replicate, determine a method to use for
the initial replication.
Method 1: Exporting and importing data by using node replication synchronization
Use this method if you have a large amount of data to replicate
and you cannot wait for initial replication to complete. During replication,
the data that is exported from the source replication server and imported
to the target replication server is synchronized. This data is displayed
as if it is replicated.
Method 2: Replicating subsets of nodes
Use this method to replicate subsets of
nodes incrementally, based on specific characteristics of the data
of the nodes. You can use any characteristic to create subsets of
nodes. You can use this method if you have time to complete initial
replication but the network cannot manage replicating all nodes at
one time.
Method 3: Replicating active data first
Use this method to set up an initial replication of active
data only. By using this method, you are sending less data to be replicated
than if you replicate both active and inactive data.
Method 4: Replicating all nodes
Use this
method if you determine you have
time for the initial replication process to complete, and you can
configure the nodes and begin or schedule a replication.
