AddVirtualDiskToVDGWithAsyncMirror

command

Syntax

AddVirtualDiskToVDGWithAsyncMirror -Group VDGName, ~
-MirrorGroup AsyncMirrorGroupName, ~
[-Drive H:,] -VirtalDisk SourceVirtualDiskName, ~
-Destination DestinationVirtualDiskName [TEMPLATE], ~
-StoragePool DestinationPoolName [, -Thin 0|1]

Description

Adds a virtual disk to a virtual disk group with AsyncMirror defined on it. The AsyncMirror group
must contain only one single task.

The optional -Drive is valid only for Windows 2003/2008. If specified, the file system defined
on the virtual disk is expanded at the end of the operation.

NOTE:

This operation is allowed, even if PiTs are defined on the virtual disk group.

All the virtual disks of the virtual disk group must have RW permissions to exactly the same
hosts.

If any member of the group is clustered, then all members of the group must have the cluster
bit set. If any member is presented to two or more hosts, then all members of the group must
set the cluster bit.

All virtual disks in the virtual disk group must be defined in Windows as dynamic disks (to
allow the file system to span multiple disks).

If the -Drive is specified, all virtual disks in the virtual disk group must be defined in Windows
as dynamic disks (to allow the file system to span multiple disks).

The destination SVSP domain and the single task names are all implied through the virtual
disk group (the VSM automatically retrieves them).

The -Thin flag refers to the destination task of the async mirror group.

The optional -Drive is the drive of the mounted virtual disk group. On Windows, the actual drive
letter ends with a colon.
