<group_name>
Specifies the name of the volume group, using up to 22 characters if the mirror_config policy
is set, or up to 31 characters otherwise. This name is assigned with this command.
[<target_name>:<mode>...]
In a Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy setup, this specifier is required for every target of
the group. This specifier can be repeated to specify multiple targets.
• <target_name> - Specifies the target name associated with this group. This name should
have already been assigned using the creatercopytarget command.
• <mode> - Specifies that the mode of the created group is either kept in synchronization at all
times (sync) or synchronized only periodically (periodic), either on command or by setting an
automatic resynchronization period through the setrcopygroup command.
RESTRICTIONS
This command requires the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software license. Contact your local service
provider for more information.
