You can use the command-line
interface (CLI) to create Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active
relationships.
These steps help create Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active
relationships:
- To create a Metro Mirror relationship,
run the mkrcrelationship command.
For example, enter:
mkrcrelationship -master master_volume_id
-aux aux_volume_id -cluster system_id
Where master_volume_id is
the ID of the master volume, aux_volume_id is
the ID of the auxiliary volume, and system_id is
the ID of the remote clustered system.
- To create a new Global Mirror relationship,
run the mkrcrelationship command with the -global parameter.
For example, enter:
mkrcrelationship -master master_volume_id
-aux aux_volume_id -cluster system_id -global
Where master_volume_id is
the ID of the master volume, aux_volume_id is
the ID of the auxiliary volume,
and system_id is the ID of the remote system.
- To create a new relationship with cycling
enabled:
mkrcrelationship -master books_volume -aux books_volume -cluster DR_cluster -global -cyclingmode multi
Note: Add change volumes to a relationship by issuing chrcrelationship-auxchange or chrcrelationship-masterchange.
- To create a new active-active
relationship, run the mkrcrelationship command
with the -activeactive parameter.
For example, enter:
mkrcrelationship -master master_volume_id -aux aux_volume_id -cluster system_id -activeactive
Where master_volume_id is
the ID of the master volume, aux_volume_id is
the ID of the auxiliary volume,
and system_id is the ID of the remote system.
