one entity. You create a remote replication group to define the synchronization settings for all replicated pairs within the
group. Each replicated pair in a remote replication group share the same synchronization settings, primary and
secondary role, and write mode.
The remote replication group is associated with the local storage array and remote storage array that is used for
replicating. The local storage array is the primary side of the remote replication group, while the remote storage array is
the secondary side of the remote replication group. All virtual disks added to the remote replication group on the local
storage array hold the primary role in the replicate relationship. Subsequently, all virtual disks added to the remote
replication group on the remote storage array hold the secondary role in the replicate relationship.
Make sure that you execute the create remote replication group command on the local storage array.
Remote replication group creation is initiated from the storage array that contains the virtual disks that hold the primary
role in the replicate relationship. You use the create remote replication group command to specify the
identity of the remote storage array that contains the virtual disks that hold the secondary role in the replicate
relationship.

Parameters
Parameter Description
userLabel The name of the new remote replication group that you
want to create. Enclose the new remote replication group
name in double quotation marks (" ").
The name must be unique on the local and remote storage
arrays.
remoteStorageArrayName The name for the remote storage array on which you are
replicating the remote replication group. Enclose the
storage array name in double quotation marks (" ").
The remote storage array must have the same connection
type as the local storage array.
remoteStorageArrayNameWwn The World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the remote storage
array on which you are replicating the remote replication
group. You can use the WWID instead of the storage array
name to identify the storage array. Enclose the WWID in
angle brackets (< >).
The remote storage array must have the same connection
type as the local storage array.
interfaceType Specify which connection type to use: either Fibre
Channel fabric or iSCSI interface. (The default is Fibre
Channel.) The local storage array and the remote storage
