Prerequisites

To complete this tutorial, you need:

• The manage cluster privilege on the local cluster.
• A license on both clusters that includes cross-cluster replication. Activate a free 30-day trial.
• An index on the remote cluster that contains the data you want to replicate. This tutorial uses the sample eCommerce orders data set. Load sample data.
• In the local cluster, all nodes with the master node role must also have the remote_cluster_client role. The local cluster must also have at least one node with both a data role and the remote_cluster_client role. Individual tasks for coordinating replication scale based on the number of data nodes with the remote_cluster_client role in the local cluster.
