Verifying Replication Path Usage

Check the status of the DSI threads in the replication paths to ensure that the multipath replication system can use the replication paths.

By the status of the DSI threads before and after you insert test data, you can verify the replication paths that the multipath replication system is using.

  1. Before you insert data in the replication paths, enter admin stats, bps at the Replication Server:
    See the DSI thread status for the four replication paths. Due to the width of the output, the eight rows are divided into two sets:

  2. Insert data in a table bound to the default path and in a table bound to an alternate replication path.
  3. Use admin stats, bps to identify the replication paths that the multipath replication system has used to convey the replicated data.
    The values for each active replication path should not have nonzero values:
