Replication
‐v (‐‐source‐vdevid) is required to specify the ID of the source virtual tape.
‐X (‐‐rpc‐timeout) is an option to specify a number between 1 and 30000 in seconds
for the RPC timeout. The system will retry the command for the amount of time
specified if the server does not respond. The default RPC timeout is 30 seconds.
Get replication status
iscon getreplicationstatus -S <target-name> [-U <username> -P <password>]
-V <replicaid> [-X <rpc-timeout>]
iscon getreplicationstatus --target-name=<target-name>
[--target-username=<username> --target-password=<password>]
--replicaid=<replicaid> [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]
Description:
This command shows the replication status.
‐S (‐‐target‐name) is the target server and ‐V (‐‐replicaid) is ID of the tape replica,
both of which are required.
‐X (‐‐rpc‐timeout) is an option to specify a number between 1 and 30000 in seconds
for the RPC timeout. The system will retry the command for the amount of time
specified if the server does not respond. The default RPC timeout is 30 seconds.
Start replication
iscon startreplication -s <server-name> [-u <username> -p <password>]
-v <vdevid> [-X <rpc-timeout>]
iscon startreplication --server-name=<server-name>
[--server-username=<username> --server-password=<password>]
--vdevid=<vdevid> [--rpc-timeout=<rpc-timeout>]
Description:
This command allows you to start replication on demand for a virtual device.
‐v (‐‐source‐vdevid) is the ID of the source virtual tape on the primary server to
start.
‐X (‐‐rpc‐timeout) is an option to specify a number between 1 and 30000 in seconds
for the RPC timeout. The system will retry the command for the amount of time
specified if the server does not respond. The default RPC timeout is 30 seconds.
