Run the following command on the master node

kubectl apply -f /YAML/DR/SampleDataReplication.yaml

After these commands are executed, run the following commands on the master node

kubectl get datarep

Review the output similar to the following

NAME PROPOSED PRIMARY CURRENT PRIMARY NAMESPACE LABELS
<Name of data replication resource> <proposed cluster ID> 
            <current cluster ID> <namespace> <labels if any>
                                   

kubectl get datarep -o wide

Review the output similar to the following

REPLICATION   SUMMARY
asynchronous | consistent,up-to-date

Wait for the initial synchronization of the application Persistent Volumes to complete on the DR site. Run the following command on the master node of the DR site.

kubectl describe datarep <Data rep name for the application>

Review the status in the output similar to the following. Data Status must be consistent up-to-date.
