The command takes this form:
activate storageSubsystem feature=remoteMirror
repositoryRAIDLevel=(1 | 3 | 5 | 6) repositoryDrives=
(enclosureID1,slotID1 ... enclosureIDn,slotIDn)
enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)
This example shows a command in which you assign the disk drives:
c:\...\...\client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "activate
storageSubsystem feature=remoteMirror repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryDrives=(1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5);"
The command in this example creates a new mirror repository logical drive consisting of five disk drives
that forms a new subsystem. The new subsystem has a RAID level of 5.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
activate storageSubsystem feature=remoteMirror
repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryDrives=(1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5);
Activating the Enhanced Remote Mirroring Feature with Software-Assigned Disk
Drives
With this version of the activate storageSubsystem feature=remoteMirror command, you choose an
existing subsystem in which to place the mirror repository logical drive. The storage management
software then determines which disk drives to use. You can also define how much space to assign to the
mirror repository logical drive. Because you are using an existing subsystem, the RAID level for the
mirror repository logical drive defaults to the RAID level of the subsystem in which you place it. You
cannot define the RAID level for the mirror repository logical drive.
The command takes this form:
activate storageSubsystem feature=remoteMirror repositorysubsystem=subsystemNumber
[freeCapacityArea=freeCapacityIndexNumber]
This example shows a command in which the software assigns the disk drives:
c:\...\...\client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "activate storageSubsystem
feature=remoteMirror repositorysubsystem=2 freeCapacityArea=2;"
The command in this example creates a new mirror repository logical drive in subsystem 2 using the
second free capacity area.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
activate storageSubsystem feature=remoteMirror repositorysubsystem=2 freeCapacityArea=2;
Activating the Enhanced Remote Mirroring Feature by Specifying a Number of
Disk Drives
With this version of the activate storageSubsystem feature=remoteMirror command, you must specify
the number of disk drives and the RAID level that you want for the mirror repository logical drive. This
version of the command creates a new subsystem. For this command to work, you must have disk drives
in the storage subsystem that are not assigned to an subsystem.
activate storageSubsystem feature=remoteMirror
repositoryRAIDLevel=(1 | 3 | 5 | 6)
repositoryDriveCount=numberOfDrives
[driveType=(fibre | SATA | SAS |)]
[enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)]
This example shows a command in which you specify the number of disk drives:
8-7
