–nopromote

This option is only valid for the failover and reverse specifiers. When used with the
reverse

specifier, specifies that the synchronized snapshot of the volume groups that are

switched from primary to secondary is not to be promoted to the base volume. When used
with the failover specifier, indicates that snapshots of volume groups that are switched from
secondary to primary are not to be promoted to the base volume in the case where all volumes
of the group were not synced to the same time point.
The incorrect use of this option can lead to the primary and secondary volumes not being
consistent.

–nosnap

Specifies that snapshots are not taken of groups that are switched from secondary to primary.
Additionally, existing snapshots are not deleted if groups are switched from primary to
secondary.

-stopgroups

Specifies that groups are stopped before running the indicated reverse or restore values
of the <dr_operation> specifier.

-local

When issuing the -local option with the reverse specifier, the role of the specified volume
groups only on the system on which the command is issued are switched. The command is not
mirrored to the volume groups on the target system. The direction of data flow is not affected
(note that volume groups must be stopped to issue this command, so data is not concurrently
flowing).

-natural

When issuing the -natural option with the reverse specifier, only the natural direction of
data flow between the specified volume group and its target group is reversed. The roles of
the volume groups do not change.

-current

When issuing the -current option with the reverse specifier, only the direction of data
currently flowing between the specified groups is reversed. The natural direction is unchanged.
This option is useful when a disaster recovery operation, such as a failover, is started and you
want to discontinue the operation. To do so, issue:
setrcopygroup -current -local <group_name>

-waittask

Wait for all tasks created by the setrcopygroup command to complete before returning.
This option applies to the failover, recover, restore, and reverse <dr_operation>
specifier.

-pat

Specifies that the patterns specified are treated as glob-style patterns and all Remote Copy
groups matching the specified patterns will be set. The -pat option can specify a list of patterns.
This option must be used if the <pattern> specifier is used.

SPECIFIERS

<policy>

Specifies the policy to assign to the group. Valid policies are:

auto_recover

- Specifies that if the Remote Copy is stopped as a result of the Remote

Copy links going down, the group will be restarted automatically after the links come back
up. If this policy is enabled for a group while the group is stopped after link failures it will
be only be started when the links come up for the failed target. If the links are already up
at the time the policy is set then the group will not be restarted at that time.

no_auto_recover

- Specifies that if the Remote Copy is stopped as a result of the Remote

Copy links going down, the group must be restarted manually after the links come back
up (default).
