Creating replica clusters Innovation Release
The Replica Clusters tab is available when you create or edit a single-node or high-availability cluster. Use it to create and manage replica clusters for single-node and high-availability clusters.
A replica cluster is typically used to create read-only copies of the primary database cluster to offload read queries and enhance performance. You can create replica clusters in a different geographic location from the primary cluster to provide disaster recovery and high availability.
Note
If you want to create replica clusters on different data centers or locations, ensure that your Hybrid Manager (HM) environment has been configured to support deployments in multiple data centers (multi-DC).
