•The local and remote storage arrays must be connected through a Fibre Channel fabric or iSCSI interface.

•Passwords are stored on each storage array in a management domain. If a password was not previously set, you do not need a password. The password can be any combination of a alphanumeric characters with a maximum of 30 characters. (You can define a storage array password by using the set storageArray command.)

•Depending on your configuration, there is a maximum number of remote replication groups you can create on a storage array.

•Remote replication groups are created empty and replicated pairs are added to them later on. Only replicated pairs can be added to a remote replication group. Each replicated pair is associated with exactly one remote replication group.

•The Remote Replication process is initiated at a defined synchronization interval. Periodic point-in- time images are replicated as only the changed data is copied and not the entire virtual disk.

Create Snapshot Group

Description

This command creates a new snapshot group and the associated repository virtual disk. A snapshot group contains a sequence of snapshot images of an associated base virtual disk. A snapshot group has a repository virtual disk that is used to save data for all of the snapshot images that are part of the snapshot group.

Syntax

create snapGroup userLabel="snapGroupName" sourceVirtualDisk="virtualDiskName" [(repositoryVirtualDisk="repos_xxxx" repositoryVirtualDisk=(diskGroupName [capacity=capacityValue]) repositoryVirtualDisk=(diskPoolName [capacity=capacityValue]))] [repositoryFullPolicy=(failBaseWrites purgeSnapImages)] [rollbackPriority=(highest high medium low lowest)] [repositoryFullLimit=percentValue] [autoDeleteLimit=numberOfSnapImages] [enableSchedule=(TRUE FALSE)] [schedule (immediate snapshotSchedule)]

Parameters

Parameter	Description
userLabel	The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) that
	you want to give the new snapshot group. Enclose
	the snapshot group identifier in double quotation
	marks (" ").
sourceVirtualDisk	The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of
	the virtual disk that you want to use as the source
	for your snapshot images. Enclose the source
	virtual disk name in double quotation marks (" ").
repositoryVirtualDisk	The name of the repository virtual disk that
	contains the snapshot group. Enclose the snapshot
	repository virtual disk name in double quotation
	marks (" ").
	The repository virtual disk name is comprised of
	two parts:
