Stop Remote Copy for the Remote Copy volume group on InServ1:

where

is the Remote Copy volume group (for example sync_group_1).

This command creates a snapshot on the system that is the primary server for this volume

group. The snapshot is named

rcpy....

, where

is an

internally assigned group ID,

is the volume ID,

is an internally assigned

target ID, and

is an integer.

You can use the

copy of

field in

showvv

output to verify that the snapshot belongs to

the correct volume.

The snapshot is copied to tape and then copied to the volumes on system InServ2.

11

Reverse the direction of the volumes on InServ2 to allow the volumes to accept writes:

where

is the name of the secondary volume group (for example

sync_group_1.r96) that accepts writes.

The tape(s) containing data from InServ1 can now be copied to the volumes on InServ2.

12

Restore the original direction of the volumes on InServ2:

where

is the name of the secondary volume group (for example

sync_group_1.r96) whose original direction is restored.

On InServ1:

# stoprcopygroup

On InServ2:

# setrcopygroup reverse -local -current -nosnap

On InServ2:

# setrcopygroup reverse -local -current -nopromote
