On the primary storage server, add pre-existing virtual volumes to the newly created

volume group, Group1, as follows:

is the name of the virtual volume (vv1) to be added to the primary volume

group (Group1) specified by the

variable. You also need to specify the

(for example, InServ2) and the name of the corresponding volume on

the target system (for this example, vv1_remote).

The

admitrcopyvv

command adds the specified volume (vv1) to the primary volume

group (Group1). At the same time, it adds the specified volume on the target system

(vv1_remote

)

to the corresponding secondary volume group created in

step 1 on

page 3.21

(Group1.r112).

3.5.1.4 Start Copying

The final step in setting up unidirectional Remote Copy for a single Remote Copy pair is to start

replication for the volume groups.

On the primary storage server, start replication for a volume group as follows:

where

is the name of the primary volume group (Group 1).

The

startrcopygroup

command is mirrored from InServ1 to InServ2 and begins the

copying of data. Because this is the first time this command has been run for this volume

group, the existing data is copied from the primary to the secondary volume group.

On InServ1:

# admitrcopyvv

NOTE: To perform the initial synchronization using tape backup, use the

–-

nosync

option of the

startrcopygroup

command. This command assumes

that the volumes are already synchronized. This command can also be used for

newly created volumes that have not yet been exported to the hosts. See

Initial

Synchronization Using Tape Backup

on page 3.38 for complete instructions.

On InServ1:
