verify remote-link
Description Verifies host-port links between the local system and a specified remote system. All link paths, or only
paths having a specified link type, between the two systems are tested. The remote system must
already have been added by using the create remote-system command.
For replication purposes, this tests the links to be used for replication from one system to another
system. To verify bidirectional communication, run this command from the primary system to the
secondary system, and then from the secondary system to the primary system.
