Dell EMC Solutions Enabler 9.2 SRDF Family CLI User Guide

Step 6: Create composite groups on target sites

Description

Once the setup is complete and the SRDF/Star definition file is distributed to the SFS at the other sites, issue the symstar buildcg command, on the synchronous and asynchronous site Star control hosts, to create the composite groups needed for recovery operations at the synchronous and asynchronous target sites.

The setup and buildcg actions ignore BCV devices that you may have added to the composite group at the workload site (NewYork). If remote BCVs are protecting data during the resynchronization of the synchronous and asynchronous target sites, manually add the BCVs to the synchronous and asynchronous composite groups.

The next step varies depending on whether BCV devices are used:

Syntax

symstar -cg CgName [-noprompt]
	buildcg -site SiteName [-update]

Examples

To create the matching composite groups for NewJersey and London:
  • Issue the following on the Star control host(s) that is locally-attached to the symm(s) at the NewJersey site:
    symstar -cg StarGrp buildcg -site NewJersey
  • Issue the following on the Star control host(s) that is locally-attached to the symm(s) at the London site:
    symstar -cg StarGrp buildcg -site London
    

Restrictions

  • The setup and buildcg actions ignore BCV devices that you may have added to the composite group at the workload site (NewYork).
  • If remote BCVs are protecting data during the resynchronization of the synchronous and asynchronous target sites, manually add the BCVs to the synchronous and asynchronous composite groups.
