On the primary system (System1), add the pre-existing virtual volumes to the newly created
volume group by issuing either of the following commands:

# admitrcopyvv <VV_name> <group_name> <target_name>:<sec_VV_name>

where:

<VV_name>

—Name of the virtual volume (for example, vv1) to add to the primary

volume group on the primary system

<group_name>

—Name of the primary volume group (Group1) on the primary system

<target_name>

—Name of the target system (System2)

<sec_VV_name>

—Name of the corresponding secondary virtual volume on the target

system (vv1_remote)

or:

# admitrcopyvv -pat <pattern> <group_name> <target_name:sec_VV_name>

where <pattern> represents the pattern of virtual volume names (for example, vv*)

To admit secondary volumes with the same names as their primary virtual volume counterparts,
use the @vvname@ wildcard instead of sec_VV_name. For example:

# admitrcopyvv -pat <pattern> <group_name> <target_name>:@vvname@

The admitrcopyvv command:

Adds the specified virtual volume (vv1) to the primary volume group (Group1) on the
primary system (System1).

Adds the specified virtual volume (vv1_remote), which you have already verified to
exist on the target system (System2), to the corresponding secondary volume group on
the target system (System2).

Because HP 3PAR Remote Copy created this secondary volume group (Group1.r112)
when you created the primary volume group (see

“Creating Volume Groups for

Unidirectional Remote Copy” (page 82)

), HP 3PAR Remote Copy automatically adds

vv1_remote

to Group1.r112.

HP 3PAR Remote Copy can also automatically create target volumes on the target volume
group. To create target volumes automatically, use the admitrcopyvv -createvv
command. For more information, see

Automatically Creating Target Volumes on the

Secondary System
