  • 1.  SEPM 14 MP1 Replication Partner

    Posted Nov 04, 2017 07:35 AM

    Hello everyone, curently we have two SEPMs running 14 MP1 with a shared SQL database and configured as HA servers with a single site desigin supporting about 3500 agents. We have a requirement to set up another SEPM in our DR site to achieve full site redundency. I have few queries or clarifications in this reguard. Your suggestions and comments are appreciated.

     

    1) The current size of SEPM sem5 database on SQL database is about 20GB in size in the maine site. Since the SEPM on DR site is going to be in another city so the cummunucation over the WAN link. I want to know that what would be the intial size of the replication ( I would not want to replicate live update, client packages and logs) as we set up the SEPM in DR site? Would it be 20 GB since the size of sem5 database on the main site is 20GB??  

     

    I came across the below KB article that talks about the above scenerio, I belive it is also applicable with the latest version of SEP.

    Your comments are suggestions are appreciated to achive the mentioned requiremenets in the most efficent and smooth way. Thanks

    the goal here is not to choke the WAN link with the initial size of replication as it would be very large. Thanks

    the initial replication will be full. It will be less than 20 Gb as it be archived format. However cannot say exact size. you can see when a data.zip file is created as outbox folder on the SEPM.

    Hi Pete, firstly thanks for your reply. Can we know about the size of the package that is going to be replicated priot to configuring replication? Is it appropirate to assume that the size of replication package would be equivalent to the size of sem5 db file?

     

    Thanks

    the data.zip is the size of the replication data. It will be lesser than sem5 DB as per my experience as the logs, packages, contents are compressed. Hence it make sense to check the data.zip file.

    if the bandwidth is the concern, you can store only limited log, the packages and content before initiating the replication partner.
