NOTES
■ If a group’s target has the mirror_config policy set and the group is a primary group,
then this command will be mirrored to that target and the corresponding secondary group
will be started. If the policy is set and the group is a secondary, then this command will fail.
■ If the mirror_config policy is not set, then the corresponding secondary group must
already be started or this command will fail.
■ Synchronous groups are automatically synchronized when started. Asynchronous periodic
volume groups are synchronized only on the first time they are started. When volumes are
added to existing asynchronous periodic groups their first sync occurs the next time the
entire group synchronizes.
■ You must enter this command on the secondary server before entering it on the primary if
the mirror_config policy is not set.
■ When a secondary group says that it is in the started state, it does not necessarily mean that
the group is receiving data from the primary server. The primary group might be stopped,
or its system might even be down. The fact that the group is started only indicates that the
group is ready to receive writes from the primary group. To determine if writes to the
volumes of the primary group are being mirrored to the secondary group, the status of the
primary group must be examined.
