We have a CX4-480 at our main site and CX3-80 at our DR site, replicating 4 CG's with RP. We want to test a CG which contains Lun's presented to Unix host with Oracle running on it. Our plan is to test at production site Lun's, do load tests on it and once tests finishes recover original data from replica onto production.
With the test scenario mentioned above, I would like all your suggestions/advise on steps for this testing on RP.
Firstly, make sure your journal at the DR site is big enough to allow for the recovery of bookmarked image (see second point) prior to the load test otherwise it may not be there as the images written into the journal are done on a new for old basis. This may be difficult to determine, therefore you can monitor the bookmark in the journal via the journal tab of the remote copy.
Secondly, ensure you create a 'gold copy' bookmarked image (by quiescing the Oracel DB) prior to the commencement of the load test.

Hi Samir,
Two points of note for you.
Firstly, make sure your journal at the DR site is big enough to allow for the recovery of bookmarked image (see second point) prior to the load test otherwise it may not be there as the images written into the journal are done on a new for old basis. This may be difficult to determine, therefore you can monitor the bookmark in the journal via the journal tab of the remote copy.
