Parameters
peer-connection peer-connection-ID
Specifies the name or serial number of the peer connection on which to create the replication set
primary-address ip=IPs|wwnn=WWNNs|wwpn=WWPNs
Optional. Specifies host ports in the local system by IP address, World Wide Node Name, or World Wide Port
Name. An IP address value can include a port number. For example, 10.134.2.1:3260. Multiple values
must be separated by commas and no spaces. For example: ip=10.134.2.1,10.134.2.2.
primary-volume volume-ID|volume-group-ID
Specifies the name or serial number of a volume or volume group on the local system. Volume-groups must
be specified with the name and .* notation used in mapping.
queue-policy discard|queue-latest
Optional. Specifies the action to take when a replication is running and a new replication is requested.
• discard: Discard the new replication request.
• queue-latest: Take a snapshot of the primary volume and queue the new replication request. If the
queue contained an older replication request, discard that older request. A maximum of one replication
can be queued. This is the default.
NOTE: If the queue policy is queue-latest and a replication is running and another is queued,
you cannot change the queue policy to discard. The queued replication must be manually
removed before you can change the policy.
secondary-pool A|B
Optional. Specifies an existing virtual pool on the remote peer. If this is not specified, the system uses the
corresponding pool on the remote system. For example, if pool A is used on the local system, pool A is used
on the remote system. If this is not specified and the corresponding pool on the remote side does not exist,
this command fails.
secondary-volume-name name
Optional. Specifies a name for the secondary volume. If this is not specified, the name from the primary
volume is used. For volume-group targets, all contained volume names must be unique. Input rules:
• The value is case-sensitive.
• The value can have a maximum of 32 bytes.
• The value can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except: " , < \
• A value that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes.
There is no default.
snapshot-count #
Optional if snapshot-history is set to disabled or off. Required if snapshot-history is set to
secondary or both.
