PRIMECLUSTER Installation and Administration Guide 4.7

K.2 Overview of Copying Procedure for the Cluster System

Different copy patterns require different tasks. Refer to the table below to perform the required tasks according to the copy pattern.

The cluster system copy has the following patterns:

1. Between physical environments (Cloning/P2P)

2. Between VMware environments (Cloning/V2V)

3. Between KVM environments (Cloning/V2V)

4. Between FJcloud-O environments (Cloning/V2V)

5. Replication from physical to virtual (VMware) (P2V)

Here, the copying procedure is explained with the cases of copying a two-node, operation-standby cluster system.

Figure K.3 Procedure for Copying the Cluster System

The description of the steps in the following execution example, is given for building a cluster system with the following configuration.
