Parameter

Description

Enclose the virtual disk name in double quotation marks ("
").

asyncRemoteReplicationGroup

The name of an existing remote replication group that you
want to use to contain the remote replicated pair. Enclose
the remote replication group name in double quotation
marks (" ").

primaryVirtualDisk

The name of an existing virtual disk on the local storage
array that you want to use for the primary virtual disk.
Enclose the virtual disk name in double quotation marks ("
").

Notes

A remote replicated pair is comprised of two virtual disks, a primary virtual disk and a secondary virtual disk, that
contain identical copies of the same data. The replicated pair is a part of a remote replication group, which allows the
replicated pair to synchronize at the same time as any other replicated pairs within the remote replication group.
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Names can have a
maximum of 30 characters.
When you choose the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual disk, the secondary virtual disk must be of equal or
greater size than the primary virtual disk. The RAID level of the secondary virtual disk does not have to be the same as
the primary virtual disk.

Increase Virtual Disk Capacity On A Disk Pool

Description

This command defines the properties for a virtual disk. You can use most parameters to define properties for one or
more virtual disks. You also can use some parameters to define properties for only one virtual disk. The syntax
definitions are separated to show which parameters apply to several virtual disks and which apply to only one virtual
disk. The syntax for virtual disk mapping is listed separately.

NOTE: In configurations where disk groups consist of more than 32 virtual disks, the operation can result in host I/O
errors or internal RAID controller module reboots due to the expiration of the timeout period before the operation
completes. If you experience host I/O errors or internal RAID controller module reboots, bring the host to a
quiescent state I/O and try the operation again.
