Step 7. Setting pair
Use the Replication Management (GUI) for setting a pair. In addition, the pair setting can also be
executed by using the iSMrc_pair command. By checking the vollist_data.txt that stores the Volume
List information created in step 4 and the volume displayed by the Replication Management, determine
the target disk for replication and set a pair.
For pair setting, note the following:
The MV and RV disk capacities must be the same.
The MV and RV disks must be the basic disks.
A volume format must be “WN” or “A2”.
In the recommended configuration, MV contains one partition for one volume.
When executing Replicate for RV for the first time, RV must be in the following state:
In Windows 2000, RV must be in unassigned area.
On Windows Server 2003, the disk to be used as the RV has the same partition configuration as the
MV. The drive letter is unassigned.
Step 8. Copying disk
Execute Replicate for the pair set in step 7 above. In this example, execute Replicate for logical disk
name dev001.
iSMrc_replicate -mv dev001 -mvflg ld -rv dev002 -rvflg ld
Then, the following start message appears and copying from MV to RV begins.
Replicate Start 2001/02/21 11:06:13
MV:10 dev001 WN
\\?\Volume{ce49f299-614e-11d5-b1df-009027520bce}\
G:
RV:- dev002 WN

Step 9. Flushing MV file system
Flush the MV file system and write the file system buffer data, not yet written, to the disk. Assume
that the MV volume has been assigned to G:.
iSMrc_flush -drv G:
Then, the following message appears and flushing occurs.
Flush Start 2001/02/21 11:08:14
disk10 dev001 WN
\\?\Volume{822575dd-63d9-11d5-b1e0-009027520bce}\
