Testing the replication setup with VVR

Before you run an alternate client backup with VVR, test your replication setup as follows.

To test your replication setup with VVR

On both primary host and secondary host, register the APP_NBU_VVR name:
```
   vxibc -g diskgroup register APP_NBU_VVR replicated_group
```
This command must be executed twice, once on each host.

On the primary host, send an IBC message to the secondary host:

   vxibc -g diskgroup send APP_NBU_VVR replicated_group
        replication_link

On the secondary host, receive the IBC message from the primary host:
```
   vxibc -g diskgroup -R10 receive APP_NBU_VVR replicated_group
```
On the secondary host, restart replication:
```
   vxibc -g diskgroup unfreeze APP_NBU_VVR  replicated_group
```
If these commands execute successfully, the replication setup is correct.
