from Primary Volume Groups

1.

To start replication from the primary volume group to the secondary volume groups on SystemB
and SystemC, issue the following command from the primary system (SystemA):

# startrcopygroup

The startrcopygroup command, when run on a group for the first time:

Is mirrored from the primary system to the backup systems (from SystemA to SystemB
and SystemC)

Begins copying the existing data from the primary volume group (testgroup) to its
associated secondary volume groups (testgroup.r96) on both backup systems

systems:

# showrcopy groups
