Creating Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency groups using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to create Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency groups.

To create Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency groups, complete these steps:

  1. To create a Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency group, run the mkrcconsistgrp command.
    For example, enter:
    mkrcconsistgrp -name new_name -cluster cluster_id

    where new_name is the name of the new consistency group and cluster_id is the ID of the remote cluster for the new consistency group. If -cluster is not specified, a consistency group is created only on the local cluster. The new consistency group does not contain any relationships and will be in the empty state.

  2. To add Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active relationships to the group, run the chrcrelationship command.
    For example, enter:
    chrcrelationship -consistgrp consist_group_namerc_rel_id

    where consist_group_name is the name of the new consistency group to assign the relationship to and rc_rel_id is the ID of the relationship.
