Dell 34XX, 38XX, 32XX, 36XX manual Role, Force

Parameter	Description
	• A four digit numerical identifier that you assign
	to the repository virtual disk name.
	Enclose the name of the existing repository virtual
	disk in double quotation marks (" ").
	If you want to create a new repository virtual disk
	when you run this command you must enter the
	name of either a a disk group or a disk pool in
	which you want the repository virtual disk.
	Optionally, you also can define the capacity of the
	repository virtual disk. If you want to define the
	capacity you can use these values:
	• An integer value that represents a percentage
	of the base virtual disk capacity.
	• A decimal fraction value that represents a
	percentage of the base virtual disk capacity.
	• A specific size for the repository virtual disk.
	Size is defined in units of bytes, KB, MB, GB, or
	TB.
	If you do not use the capacity option, the MD
	storage management software sets the capacity to
	20 percent of the base virtual disk capacity.
	Enclose the name of the new repository virtual disk
	in parenthesis ( ).
role	Use this parameter to promote the remote
	replication group to a primary role or demote the
	remote replication group to a secondary role. To
	define the remote replication group as the primary
	role, set this parameter to primary. To define the
	remote replication group as the secondary role, set
	this parameter to secondary.
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.
nosync	This parameter defines whether to perform an
	initial synchronization between the primary remote
	replication group and the secondary remote
	replication group before a role reversal operation is
	performed. To perform an initial synchronization,
	set this parameter to TRUE. The default value is
	FALSE.
