Dear All Experts

Enviornment is of SFHA

We have a Service Group of Application running, We need to remove old replication service group and add a new one, Old replication service group has been removed already.

My concern to this activity is, will we face downtime to application service group while adding a new replication service group and linking it with the application service group to have a complete SFHA ??

If anyone can help, please guide me to above matter as we cannot face downtime on application and if possible kindly provide me the steps.

Note: Disks are coming from SAN and application is also runnig from there.

Thanks

What are the differences

What are the differences between the old service group and new one you want to add and can you provide main.cf to show current config
