American Megatrends MAN-STOR-ITX27-CLI manual Synchronous replication

Command

Argument

Description

create syncreplica

–l/--local < cont_vol_name>

Creates a replication pair. Both the

-r/--remote < cont_vol_name>

primary and secondary volumes

-p/--priority <resync priority>

should be present before this

-i/--localhost <primary's IP address>

operation.

-m/--remotehost <rem host name>

For local volume copy, please enter

-d/--mode [sync ha]

remote host as “local”. All other

Example: replication in local volumes

parameters remain same. Default

create -l c0_v0 -r c1_v1 -p 50 -i 172.16.70.70 -d

resync priority is zero.

sync -m local syncreplica

Specify sync for –d/--mode option

to create a synchronous replication

Example: HA in remote volumes

pair; specify ha for –d/--mode

create -l c0_v0 -r c1_v1 -p 50 -i 172.16.70.70 -m

option to create an high-availability

172.16.70.102 –d ha syncreplica

pair.

NOTE: management target name

for SR is the name of the virtual

target, as opposed to mtarget in

earlier versions (2.5/2.6).

update syncreplica

–l/--local < cont_vol_name>

Updates the given parameters of

-p/--priority <resync priority>

the volpair in DDF and in module.

-m/--remotehost <rem host name>

-x/--xmlflag <xml flag>

For example: update -l c0_v0 -p 50 -m

172.16.70.102 -x syncreplica

get syncreplica

-l/--local <local-primary cont_vol_name>

Displays the replication details as

For example: get –l c0_v0 syncreplica

available from DDF as well as

runtime.

list syncreplica

-c/--container <container name>

Lists available replication pairs in

For example: list –c c0 syncreplica

the given container.

delete syncreplica

-l/--local < cont_vol_name >

Deletes the given synchronous

-f/--force (optional)

replication pair. Note : Use --force

to clean up non-operational pair

locally.

split syncreplica

-l/--local <local-primary cont_vol_name>

Temporarily stops replication of

the replication pair. But at a later

time, the replication can be joined

to replicate from the place where it

stopped.

join syncreplica

-l/--local <cont_vol_name>

Manually joins or resync the

replication on the given

consistency group that was split

earlier. Also, this command should

be used to initiate a failback

resync.

perform syncreplica

-t/--type {failover}

Initiates failover on the given

-l/--local <cont_vol_name>

consistency group. This command

has to be given in the secondary

target. All further I/Os will be

fielded by the secondary from now

on.

perform syncreplica

-t/--type {failback}

This will reinstate the initial

-l/--local <cont_vol_name>

primary to start fielding I/Os after a

For example: perform –t failback –l c0_v0

successful failback. Resync has to

syncreplica

be completed before activating the

failback.
