replicate volume
Description Creates a replication snapshot of the specified volume and initiates a replication operation. This
command can follow a create replication-set command that did not specify to initiate replication.
If the snapshot you want to replicate already exists, use the replicate snapshot command instead.
NOTE: If replication requests are sent to a secondary system whose temporary replication license
has expired, the requests are queued but are not processed, and the secondary system reports event
472. If this condition occurs, check for this event in the event log, event-notification emails, and
SNMP traps. To continue using replication, purchase a permanent replication license.
Syntax

volume
Parameters set replication-set
Optional. The name or serial number of the replication set.
snapshot
replication-snapshot
The name for the new replication snapshot. A snapshot name is case sensitive; can include spaces
and printable UTF-8 characters except a left angle bracket, backslash, comma, or double quote; and
can have a maximum of 32 bytes. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.
preserve-snapshot
external-snapshot
Optional. The name of the external snapshot to use as the source for this replication. This preserves
the snapshot that is being used to replicate the volume as an external snapshot; otherwise, the
snapshot is converted to a replication snapshot.
volume
The name or serial number of the primary volume to replicate. If the name is not unique across
replication sets, specify the set parameter.
Example Replicate volume MV1 and name the replication snapshot RepSnap1:
# replicate volume snapshot RepSnap1 MV1
Info: The replication has started. (RepSnap1)
Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-20 10:53:25)
