If you are moving a VOB replica to a new host, take the following
steps first.
If the replica object is not self-mastered,
change its mastership. At the replica that masters the replica object:
Verify that the replica masters its own replica object. For
a replica named portland, check which replica has mastership of the portland replica
object:
This
step is not mandatory, but all replicas should master their own replica objects.
(You can make this change at any time, as long as the replicas are synchronized.)
For the purposes of moving a replica, this self-mastership prevents your team
from having to diagnose and repair misdirected packet problems that might
result. If the replica object names the wrong host, packets are sent to that
host. (If this happens, move misdirected packets to the correct host and then
import them.)
Change the replica’s host name property. After the last
export from the replica’s current location, use multitool chreplica to
update the replica’s host name. You must run this command from the site that
masters the replica, which is the current site in most cases:
multitool chreplica –host target-hostreplica:portland@\libpub Updated replica information for "portland".
Note: All replicas that export to the replica to be
moved must be updated after the move through synchronizations from the moved
replica’s site (or from the site that runs the chreplica command,
if it was not the current site).
