replicate
Description
Initiates replication of volumes in a replication set.
This command must be run on the replication set’s primary system.
The initial replication may take a long time because it copies the allocated pages of the primary volume to the
secondary volume. Subsequent replications are generally faster because those replications only copy changes
made since the last successful replication.
If a replication fails, the system suspends the replication set. The replication operation will attempt to resume
if it has been more than 10 minutes since the replication set was suspended. If the operation has not
succeeded after six attempts using the 10-minute interval, it will switch to trying to resume if it has been over
an hour since the last attempt and the peer connection is healthy.

Syntax
replicate
[last-snapshot]
[snapshot snapshot-ID]
replication-set-ID
Parameters
last-snapshot
Optional. Specifies to replicate the most recent snapshot of the primary volume, instead of the base volume.
You cannot specify both this parameter and the snapshot parameter.
snapshot snapshot-ID
Optional. This advanced option enables you to replicate a particular snapshot of the primary volume, instead
of the base volume or its most recent snapshot. You can specify the name or serial number of the snapshot
to replicate. You cannot specify both this parameter and the last-snapshot parameter.
NOTE: This operation can affect the order of replication revisions, making the secondary
retention set confusing to understand.
replication-set-ID
The name or serial number of the replication set to replicate.
Examples Replicate the volumes in replication set RS1.
# replicate RS1
Replicate the most recent snapshot of volumes in replication set RS1.
# replicate last-snapshot RS1
Replicate snapshot RS1V1Snap3 in replication set RS1.
# replicate snapshot RS1V1Snap3 RS1
