•
Storage Replication Group information associated with activated Recovery Groups in the
exportconfig
file is imported if the importing site has no Storage Replication Group
configuration.
•
If the importing site already contains Storage Replication Group information:
If the Storage Replication Group is included in another Recovery Group that belongs to
the same Recovery Group Set, the import is allowed.
◦
◦
If the Storage Replication Group is included in another Recovery Group that belongs to
a different Recovery Group Set, the import fails. It does not matter whether this Recovery
Group is activated or deactivated at the importing site.
•
All entities referenced by imported Recovery Groups are imported, including Sites, Storage
Management Servers, and Storage Replication Groups. At the end of an import, only the
imported Recovery Groups and their associated entities remain. Storage not attached to the
activated Recovery Groups being imported is deleted.
•
If a Recovery Group in the exportconfig file has the same name as a Recovery Group at
the importing site, but it belongs to a different Recovery Group Set, the import fails.
•
Storage Management Servers and Storage Replication Groups that are not referenced by the
imported Recovery Groups are not imported.
•
If the Recovery Groups in the exportconfig file already exist at the importing site (Recovery
Groups with the same name are at the importing site), they are deleted and replaced with the
imported Recovery Groups. The Storage Replication Groups referenced by Recovery Groups
that are deleted are also deleted.
Single Recovery Group import
If you add or modify (edit) a Recovery Group at a Matrix recovery management site, there is a
single Recovery Group import feature that saves time by propagating those changes to the other
site without performing a site import operation.
For example, if you add or modify (edit) a Recovery Group at the Local Site, you can import the
new or modified Recovery Group to establish its peer Recovery Group at the Remote Site without
importing the entire Local Site configuration. The procedure at the Local Site is the same as the site
export procedure. From the Sites tab at the Local Site you export the Matrix recovery management
configuration to an exportconfig file and move that file to the Remote Site. From the Recovery
Groups tab at the Remote Site, click import...
→Select import file.... The Import Wizard window
appears allowing you to select a Recovery Group to import from the exportconfig file. See the
Matrix recovery management online help for more information on the import procedure for single
Recovery Groups.
