Managing replication using shell scripts

You can use the Q Replication function as an add-on service in Db2 and use shell scripts to execute the REST APIs that are used to deploy, configure, operate, and monitor the replication function by using shell scripts commands.

Before you begin

To successfully complete the Q Replication deployment, configuration, and operations ensure the following:

  • Db2 instances are deployed and are in a ready state. Your Db2 instances can be either a cluster type custom resource deployment or instance type custom resource deployment.
  • All the deployments are in a ready state on two sites, a source site and a destination site as replication function is used to replicate data between two sites.
  • A storage class is provisioned on the cluster. Q Replication supports a range of storage classes such as NFS, Spectrum Scale, Red Hat® OpenShift® Data Foundation (ODF)/ Red Hat OpenShift Container Storage (OCS).
  • A high availability proxy software is installed as Q Replication services are exposed via NodePort service that are accessed from an infrastructure Host/Bastion node which is deployed on the cluster.
  • You have a production environment with network bandwidth of 10Gbps with low latency for high throughput.
