Parameter

Description

 

 

 

secondary virtual disks of a remote-replicated pair.

 

This parameter has these values:

 

enabled – Automatic resynchronization is

 

turned on. You do not need to do anything

 

further to resynchronize the primary virtual

 

disk and the secondary virtual disk.

 

disabled – Automatic resynchronization

 

is turned off. To resynchronize the primary

 

virtual disks and the secondary virtual disk, you

 

must run the resume remoteReplication

 

command.

writeOrder

This parameter defines write order for data

 

transmission between the primary virtual disk and

 

the secondary virtual disk. Valid values are

 

preserved or notPreserved.

writeMode

This parameter defines how the primary virtual disk

 

writes to the secondary virtual disk. Valid values are

 

synchronous or asynchronous.

force

The role reversal is forced if the communications

 

link between the storage arrays is down and

 

promotion or demotion on the local side results in

 

a dual-primary condition or a dual-secondary

 

condition. To force a role reversal, set this

 

parameter to TRUE. The default value is FALSE.

 

NOTE: Use the force parameter only when

 

using the role parameter.

Notes

When you use this command, you can specify one or more optional parameters.

Synchronization priority defines the amount of system resources that are used to synchronize the data between the primary virtual disks and the secondary virtual disks of a replication relationship. If you select the highest priority level, the data synchronization uses the most system resources to perform the full synchronization, which decreases the performance for host data transfers.

The writeOrder parameter applies only to asynchronous write modes and makes them become part of a consistency group. Setting the writeOrder parameter to preserved causes the remote-replicated pair to transmit data from the primary virtual disk to the secondary virtual disk in the same order as the host writes to the primary virtual disk. In the event of a transmission link failure, the data is buffered until a full synchronization can occur. This action can require additional system overhead to maintain the buffered data, which slows operations. Setting the writeOrder parameter to notPreserved frees the system from having to maintain data in a buffer, but it requires forcing a full synchronization to make sure that the secondary virtual disk has the same data as the primary virtual disk.
