Dell 38XX, 34XX, 32XX Adding Secondary Virtual Disk To Remote Replication Group, Role Force Nosync

•warningThresholdPercent

The following parameters allow you to change (or force) the primary/secondary role of a replication group, or whether or not to perform a synchronization before changing primary/secondary roles.

•role

•force

•nosync

You can apply the changes to one or several remote replicated pairs by using this command. Use the primary virtual disk name to identify the remote replicated pairs for which you are changing the properties.

The full command syntax is shown below:

set asyncRemoteReplicationGroup ["asyncRemoteReplicationGroupName"] [syncInterval=integer (minutes hours days) warningSyncThreshold=integer (minutes hours days) warningRecoveryThreshold=integer (minutes hours days) warningThresholdPercent=percentValue autoResync=(TRUE FALSE) virtualDisk="virtualDiskName"

increaseRepositoryCapacity (repositoryVirtualDisk="repos_xxxx" repositoryVirtualDisk=(diskGroupName [capacity=capacityValue]) repositoryVirtualDisk=(diskPoolName [capacity=capacityValue])) role=(primary secondary) ([force=TRUEFALSE][noSync=TRUEFALSE])

Adding Secondary Virtual Disk To Remote Replication Group

Use the establish asyncRemoteReplication command to add the secondary virtual disk on the remote storage array to the replication group. This command completes the remote replicated pair process begun with the add virtualDisk command, which added the primary virtual disk on the local storage array to the replication group.

Before running this command, the remote replication group must exist and the primary virtual disk must exist in the remote replication group. After the establish asyncRemoteReplication command successfully completes, remote replication automatically starts between the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual disk.

Using the previous example, the following command completes a replicated pair within a replication group named Remote_SS_A101 between the primary virtual disk (on the local storage array) named employeeBackfilData and a secondary virtual disk (on the remote storage array) named employeeBackfilData_remote:

establish asyncRemoteReplication virtualDisk="employeeBackFilData_remote" asyncRemoteReplicationGroup="Remote_SS_A101" primaryVirtualDisk="employeeBackfilData";

Suspending A Remote Replication Group

Use the asyncRemoteReplicationGroup command to stop data transfer between a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual disk in a replication relationship without disabling the replication relationship. Suspending a replication relationship group lets you control when the data on the primary virtual disk and data on the secondary virtual disk are synchronized. Suspending a replication relationship group helps to
