• The local and remote storage arrays must be connected through a Fibre Channel fabric or iSCSI
interface.
• Passwords are stored on each storage array in a management domain. If a password was not
previously set, you do not need a password. The password can be any combination of a alphanumeric
characters with a maximum of 30 characters. (You can define a storage array password by using the
set storageArray command.)
• Depending on your configuration, there is a maximum number of remote replication groups you can
create on a storage array.
• Remote replication groups are created empty and replicated pairs are added to them later on. Only
replicated pairs can be added to a remote replication group. Each replicated pair is associated with
exactly one remote replication group.
• The Remote Replication process is initiated at a defined synchronization interval. Periodic point-in-
time images are replicated as only the changed data is copied and not the entire virtual disk.
Create Snapshot Group
Description
This command creates a new snapshot group and the associated repository virtual disk. A snapshot group
contains a sequence of snapshot images of an associated base virtual disk. A snapshot group has a
repository virtual disk that is used to save data for all of the snapshot images that are part of the snapshot
group.
Syntax
create snapGroup userLabel="snapGroupName" sourceVirtualDisk="virtualDiskName"
[(repositoryVirtualDisk="repos_xxxx" | repositoryVirtualDisk=(diskGroupName
[capacity=capacityValue]) | repositoryVirtualDisk=(diskPoolName
[capacity=capacityValue]))] [repositoryFullPolicy=(failBaseWrites |
purgeSnapImages)] [rollbackPriority=(highest | high | medium | low | lowest)]
[repositoryFullLimit=percentValue] [autoDeleteLimit=numberOfSnapImages]|
[enableSchedule=(TRUE | FALSE)] [schedule (immediate | snapshotSchedule)]
Parameters
Parameter Description
userLabel

you want to give the new snapshot group. Enclose
the snapshot group identifier in double quotation
marks (" ").
sourceVirtualDisk
The alphanumeric identifier (including - and _) of
the virtual disk that you want to use as the source
for your snapshot images. Enclose the source
virtual disk name in double quotation marks (" ").
repositoryVirtualDisk
The name of the repository virtual disk that
contains the snapshot group. Enclose the snapshot
repository virtual disk name in double quotation
marks (" ").
The repository virtual disk name is comprised of
two parts:
