Dell PowerVault MD 32XX/36XX Series Storage Arrays CLI Guide

Description

Use this command to complete a remote replicated pair on the remote storage array by adding a secondary virtual disk to an existing remote replication group. Before you run this command, the remote replication group must exist and the primary virtual disk must exist in the remote replication group. After this command successfully completes, remote replication starts between the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual disk.

The two virtual disks comprising a remote replicated pair function as a single entity. Establishing a remote replicated pair allows you to perform actions on the entire replicated pair versus the two individual virtual disks.

Syntax

establish asyncRemoteReplication virtualDisk="
                                 secondaryVirtualDiskName"
                                 asyncRemoteReplicationGroup="
                                 asyncRemoteReplicationGroupName"
                                 primaryVirtualDisk="
                                 primayVirtualDiskName"
                              

Parameters

Notes

A remote replicated pair is comprised of two virtual disks, a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual disk, that contain identical copies of the same data. The replicated pair is a part of a remote replication group, which allows the replicated pair to synchronize at the same time as any other replicated pairs within the remote replication group.

You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.

When you choose the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual disk, the secondary virtual disk must be of equal or greater size than the primary virtual disk. The RAID level of the secondary virtual disk does not have to be the same as the primary virtual disk.
