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
(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
Synchronization Using Tape Backup
on page 3.38 for complete instructions.
On InServ1:
