Dell 34XX, 32XX, 36XX, 38XX Adding Secondary Virtual Disk To Remote Replication Group, Suspending A Remote Replication Group

•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=TRUE|FALSE]|[noSync=TRUE|FALSE])

Adding Secondary Virtual Disk To Remote Replication

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";

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
