4.3 Changing Remote Copy Mode for a Volume Group

Use the

setrcopygroup mode

command to change the Remote Copy mode of a volume

group. This allows you to convert a synchronous volume group to an asynchronous periodic

volume group or vice versa.

Follow these steps to change the Remote Copy mode for an existing volume group.

1

Stop the primary group, leaving the resynchronization snapshots on the system.

2

Change the Remote Copy mode of the volume group as follows:

<mode_value>

is the new Remote Copy mode (

sync

or

periodic

).

<target_name>

is the name of the target name for the volume group.

<group_name>

is the name of the Remote Copy volume group.

3

Start the primary volume group as follows:

If converting a synchronous volume group to an asynchronous periodic volume group, set

the synchronization period using the following command:

where

<value>

is the new resynchronization period followed by

s

to denote seconds,

m

to

denote minutes,

h

to denote hours, or

d

to denote days.

NOTE: Only one mode (synchronous or asynchronous periodic) per target is

allowed.

# stoprcopygroup <group_name>

# setrcopygroup mode <mode_value> <target_name> <group_name>

# startrcopygroup <group_name>

# setrcopygroup period <value> <target_name> <group_name>
