You need one conmgr process for each set of instances that you want to configure for replication. Assign a dedicated directory to each conmgr process. This directory must assign read, execute, and write permissions for the user who starts the conmgr process.

This directory is specified when you run the cm_ctl command, which starts and stops the conmgr process. To specify a directory in the cm_ctl command, set it in the environment variable CMDATA or specify it in the -D option.
