Adding Primary Virtual Disk To Remote Replication Group

The add virtualDisk command adds a primary virtual disk to a remote replication group. This command is valid only on the local storage array that contains the remote replication group to which you want to add the primary virtual disk. To add the secondary virtual disk on the remote storage array to the remote replication group, use the establish asyncRemoteReplication virtualDisk command.

You have two options for specifying a repository virtual disk when using this command: you can either specify an existing repository virtual disk or create a new one when running the command.

To add a virtual disk named employeeBackfilData to the Remote_SS_A101 group you created using an existing repository virtual disk named rep_VD_404: 
add virtualDisk="employeeBackfilData"
                                    asyncRemoteReplicationGroup="Remote_SS_A101"
                                    repositoryVirtualDisk="rep_VD_404";
To add the same virtual disk to the same replication, but create a new 10GB repository virtual disk from an existing disk group named DG_09: 
add virtualDisk="employeeBackfilData"
                                    asyncRemoteReplicationGroup="Remote_SS_A101"
                                    repositoryVirtualDisk=DG_09 capacity=10GB;

You can substitute a disk pool name for the disk group name, if creating the repository virtual disk from disk pool space.
