C.62 Synchronous Long Distance Remote Copy Disaster Recovery Example
Remote Copy User’s Guide InForm OS Version 2.3.1
1 Initiate disaster recovery to the asynchronous periodic backup server, InServC, by issuing
the setrcopygroup failover command on InServC.
By issuing setrcopygroup failover as shown in the example above:
◆ The disaster recovery operation is run against all groups that were secondary groups to
InServA.
◆ All tasks required for each group to be processed are displayed as is the status of each
task. This can take several minutes to complete.
◆ By default, the setrcopygroup failover command attempts to pull any newer
data from the synchronous backup server (InServB). In doing so, InServB temporarily
assumes the role of the primary storage server.
# setrcopygroup failover -f -t InServA
