Creating symclone session for a device group

I have created a device group with SRC and TGT devices and want to create a symclone copy session on the device group itself, instead of creating session by specifying a single SRC and TGT device in a command line.

any ideas.......

    symclone -g DG_Name create -tgt -diff -copy (or any other options you want)
    symclone -g DG_Name activate -tgt

    you could use -exact ..then they will be paired the way they are listed in DG. I suspect if you do not specify anything it will emulate -opt by default ?

    I knew these 2, but I'm not sure whether or not you first need to establish each source device with a clone. I mean: suppose you have 4 source devices in your DG, how do you know which target (clone) is connected to each source dev ?

    I was only wondering.... Now you mention it, it sure seems familiar what you're saying.... -opt by default sure sounds good...

    Who knows for sure ?

    But you don't need to establish first ? And after that the create and activate ?

    actually if you run establish it will do both ..create and activate in one step. It implies the -copy and -diff options.

    Business wise I would say you're right, but just for me, at home ? An old Symm with a relatively recent Enginuity code on it.... ebay ? No.... even there, they're too expensive.
