Description

remoteStorageArrayName

The name of the remote storage array. Enclose the

marks (“ ”).

remoteStorageArrayWwn

The World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the remote
storage array. Enclose the WWID in double

remotePassword

The password for the remote storage array. Use
this parameter when the remote storage array is
password protected. Enclose the password in
double quotation marks (“ ”).

syncPriority

The priority that full synchronization has relative to
host I/O activity. Valid values are highest, high,
medium, low, or lowest.

autoResync

The settings for automatic resynchronization
between the primary virtual disks and the
secondary virtual disks of a remote replication pair.
This parameter has these values:

• enabled—Automatic resynchronization is

turned on. You do not need to do anything
