mkrcconsistgrp

Use the mkrcconsistgrp command to create a new, empty remote copy consistency group. If the -cluster parameter is not specified, the consistency group is created on the local system only.

Syntax

mkrcconsistgrp [ -namenew_name ] [ -cluster { cluster_id | cluster_name } ]

Parameters

-namenew_name: (Optional) Specifies a name for the new consistency group.
-clustercluster_id | cluster_name: (Optional) Specifies the name or ID of the remote system. If -cluster is not specified, a consistency group is created only on the local system.

Description

This command creates a new consistency group. The ID of the new group is displayed after the command processes. The name must be unique across all consistency groups that are known to the systems within this consistency group. If the consistency group involves two system, the systems must be in communication throughout the create process.

The new consistency group does not contain any relationships and is in an empty state. You can add Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active relationships to the group by using the chrcrelationship command.

Remember: Names representing remote copy consistency groups relationships are restricted to 15 characters in length (not sixty-three for an extended character set).

An invocation example

mkrcconsistgrp -name rc_testgrp
