Creating Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active relationships by using the CLI
About this task
Procedure
-
To create a Metro Mirror
relationship, run the mkrcrelationship command.
For example, enter:
mkrcrelationship -master master_volume_id -aux aux_volume_id -cluster system_idWhere master_volume_id is the ID of the master volume, aux_volume_id is the ID of the auxiliary volume, and system_id is the ID of the remote clustered system.
-
To create a new Global Mirror
relationship, run the mkrcrelationship command with the
-global parameter.
For example, enter:
mkrcrelationship -master master_volume_id -aux aux_volume_id -cluster system_id -globalWhere master_volume_id is the ID of the master volume, aux_volume_id is the ID of the auxiliary volume, and system_id is the ID of the remote system.
-
To create a new relationship with cycling enabled:
mkrcrelationship -master books_volume -aux books_volume -cluster DR_cluster -global -cyclingmode multiNote: Add change volumes to a relationship by issuing chrcrelationship -auxchange or chrcrelationship -masterchange. -
To create a new active-active relationship, run the mkrcrelationship
command with the -activeactive parameter.
For example, enter the following command:
mkrcrelationship -master master_volume_id -aux aux_volume_id -cluster system_id -activeactiveWhere master_volume_id is the ID of the master volume, aux_volume_id is the ID of the auxiliary volume, and system_id is the ID of the remote system.
