Changing Remote Replication Group Settings

The set asyncRemoteReplicationGroup command lets you change settings for an existing replication group.
The following parameters set synchronization and warning threshold values for the replication group. Changing the
synchronization settings affects the synchronization operations of all replicated pairs within the remote replication
group.

syncInterval

warningSyncThreshold

warningRecoveryThreshold

warningThresholdPercent

The following parameters allow you to change (or force) the primary/secondary role of a replication group, or whether
or not to perform a synchronization before changing primary/secondary roles.

role

force

nosync

You can apply the changes to one or several remote replicated pairs by using this command. Use the primary virtual disk
name to identify the remote replicated pairs for which you are changing the properties.
The full command syntax is shown below:
set asyncRemoteReplicationGroup ["asyncRemoteReplicationGroupName"]

[syncInterval=integer (minutes | hours | days)

warningSyncThreshold=integer (minutes | hours | days)

warningRecoveryThreshold=integer (minutes | hours | days)

warningThresholdPercent=percentValue autoResync=(TRUE | FALSE)

virtualDisk="virtualDiskName"

increaseRepositoryCapacity (repositoryVirtualDisk="repos_xxxx" |

repositoryVirtualDisk=(diskGroupName [capacity=capacityValue])

repositoryVirtualDisk=(diskPoolName [capacity=capacityValue])) role=(primary|

secondary) ([force=TRUE|FALSE]|[noSync=TRUE|FALSE])

Adding Secondary Virtual Disk To Remote Replication Group

Use the establish asyncRemoteReplication command to add the secondary virtual disk on the remote
storage array to the replication group. This command completes the remote replicated pair process begun with the add
virtualDisk command, which added the primary virtual disk on the local storage array to the replication group.
Before running this command, the remote replication group must exist and the primary virtual disk must exist in the
remote replication group. After the establish asyncRemoteReplication command successfully completes,
remote replication automatically starts between the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual disk.
Using the previous example, the following command completes a replicated pair within a replication group named
Remote_SS_A101 between the primary virtual disk (on the local storage array) named employeeBackfilData and a
secondary virtual disk (on the remote storage array) named employeeBackfilData_remote:
establish asyncRemoteReplication

virtualDisk="employeeBackFilData_remote"

asyncRemoteReplicationGroup="Remote_SS_A101"

primaryVirtualDisk="employeeBackfilData";
