Dell PowerVault MD3260i - Manual (Page 285)

Parameter Description
Enclose the name of the existing repository virtual disk in
double quotation marks (" ").
If you want to create a new repository virtual disk when
you run this command you must enter the name of either a
a disk group or a disk pool in which you want the
repository virtual disk.
Optionally, you also can define the capacity of the
repository virtual disk. If you want to define the capacity
you can use these values:
• An integer value that represents a percentage of
the base virtual disk capacity.
• A decimal fraction value that represents a
percentage of the base virtual disk capacity.
• A specific size for the repository virtual disk. Size
is defined in units of bytes, KB, MB, GB, or TB.
If you do not use the capacity option, the MD storage
management software sets the capacity to 20 percent of
the base virtual disk capacity.
Enclose the name of the new repository virtual disk in
parenthesis ( ).
role Use this parameter to promote the remote replication
group to a primary role or demote the remote replication
group to a secondary role. To define the remote
replication group as the primary role, set this parameter to
primary. To define the remote replication group as the
secondary role, set this parameter to secondary.
force The role reversal is forced if the communications link
between the storage arrays is down and promotion or
demotion on the local side results in a dual-primary
condition or a dual-secondary condition. To force a role
reversal, set this parameter to TRUE. The default value is
FALSE.
nosync This parameter defines whether to perform an initial
synchronization between the primary remote replication
group and the secondary remote replication group before
a role reversal operation is performed. To perform an
initial synchronization, set this parameter to TRUE. The
default value is FALSE.
Notes
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#) for the names.
Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.
When you use this command, you can specify one or more of the parameters. You do not, however, need to use all of the
parameters.
A remote replication group repository virtual disk is an expandable virtual disk that is structured as a concatenated
collection of up to 16 standard virtual disk entities. Initially, an expandable repository virtual disk has only a single
