dmx to vnx using Open Replicator (Help)!

Question

I have a simple question. When executing open replicator do I place the target luns in the OR group and host group for the target host before the copy? I believe I just put them into the OR group and then moved them to the proper storage group after the host is shutdown and the last incremental copy executed. Thanks!

In that case I suspect the session might created with –nocopy option. Can you tell me the command you used to create & activate the OR session? Regards, Periyakaruppan N (Peri),

The session started successfully, however, there is no movement. Stopped it with symforce and restarted and still the same thing.

Is the session created with –copy method? Its required for the cold OR session. Regards, Periyakaruppan N (Peri),

Archuperi721 · Answer

If the session is copy on write / access and the session was created without –precopy option. Then there will not be a copy until its activated.

Once its activated the session will turned as either copy on write / access according to the configuration.

Thank you! I did not use the -nocopy option, I forgot -copy because I was validating my file. Too many late nights in a row! it's copying now.
