CLI Guide

The create asyncRemoteReplicationGroup command creates a new, empty remote replication

group on both the local storage array and the remote storage array. Each replicated pair you add to the

remote replication group share the same synchronization settings, primary and secondary role, and write

mode.

This command must be run on the local storage array. Remote replication group creation is initiated from

the storage array that contains the virtual disks that hold the primary role in the replicate relationship. The

following command create a replication group names RRG-001 on a remote iSCSI storage array named

Remote_SS_A101. The remote storage array has a password of 123Dell321 (remotePassword=). A

warning will be triggered when the capacity of a replication repository virtual disk reaches 75 percent of

capacity (warningThresholdPercent=).

create asyncRemoteReplicationGroup userLabel="RRG-001"

remoteStorageArrayName="Remote_SS_A101" interfaceType=iSCSI

remotePassword="123Dell321" warningThresholdPercent=75;

Adding Primary Virtual Disk To Remote Replication Group

The add virtualDisk command adds a primary virtual disk to a remote replication group. This

command is valid only on the local storage array that contains the remote replication group to which you

want to add the primary virtual disk. To add the secondary virtual disk on the remote storage array to the

remote replication group, use the

establish asyncRemoteReplication virtualDisk command.

You have two options for specifying a repository virtual disk when using this command: you can either

specify an existing repository virtual disk or create a new one when running the command.

To add a virtual disk named employeeBackfilData to the Remote_SS_A101 group you created using an

existing repository virtual disk named rep_VD_404:

add virtualDisk="employeeBackfilData"

asyncRemoteReplicationGroup="Remote_SS_A101"

repositoryVirtualDisk="rep_VD_404";

To add the same virtual disk to the same replication, but create a new 10GB repository virtual disk from

an existing disk group named DG_09:

add virtualDisk="employeeBackfilData"

asyncRemoteReplicationGroup="Remote_SS_A101"

repositoryVirtualDisk=DG_09 capacity=10GB;

You can substitute a disk pool name for the disk group name, if creating the repository virtual disk from

disk pool space.

Changing Remote Replication Group Settings

The set asyncRemoteReplicationGroup command lets you change settings for an existing

replication group.

The following parameters set synchronization and warning threshold values for the replication group.

Changing the synchronization settings affects the synchronization operations of all replicated pairs within

the remote replication group.

• syncInterval

• warningSyncThreshold

• warningRecoveryThreshold
