using the consistency group CLI commands.

Metro Mirror, Global Mirroror active-active
relationships:
- To start a Metro Mirror,Global Mirror, or an active-active
relationship, run the startrcrelationship command.
For example, enter:
startrcrelationship rc_rel_id
Where
rc_rel_id is the ID of the relationship that you want to start in a
stand-alone relationship.
Note: Active-active relationships can be started only if they have a state
of idling.
- To stop a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationship,
run the stoprcrelationship command. This
command applies to a stand-alone relationship.
For
example, enter:
stoprcrelationship rc_rel_id
Where rc_rel_id is the ID of the
stand-alone relationship that you want to stop mirroring I/O.
- To stop an active-active relationship,
the following conditions must be met:
- The -access parameter is specified.
- The state of the relationship is consistent_copying.
