Activating the Remote Replication Premium Feature with User-Assigned Physical Disks
Activating the Remote Replication premium feature by assigning the physical disks provides flexibility in defining your
configuration by letting you choose from the available physical disks in your storage array. Choosing the physical disks
for your remote replication automatically creates a new disk group. You can specify which physical disks to use and the
RAID level for the new disk group.
The command takes this form:
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryRAIDLevel=(1 | 5 | 6)
repositoryPhysicalDisks=(enclosureID1,slotID1 ...
enclosureIDn,slotIDn)
enclosureLossProtect=(TRUE | FALSE)
This example shows a command in which you assign the physical disks:
c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89
-c "activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryPhysicalDisks=(1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5);"
The command in this example creates a new replication repository virtual disk consisting of five physical disks that form
a new disk group. The new disk group has RAID Level 5.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryRAIDLevel=5
repositoryPhysicalDisks=(1,1 1,2 1,3 1,4 1,5);
Activating the Remote Replication Premium Feature with Software-Assigned Physical Disks
With this version of the activate storageArray feature= remoteReplication command, you choose an existing disk group
in which to place the replication repository virtual disk. The MD storage management software then determines which
physical disks to use. You can also define how much space to assign to the replication repository virtual disk. Because
you are using an existing disk group, the RAID level for the replication repository virtual disk defaults to the RAID level of
the disk group in which you place it. You cannot define the RAID level for the replication repository virtual disk.
The command takes this form:
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryDiskGroup=diskGroupNumber
[freeCapacityArea=freeCapacityIndexNumber]
This example shows a command in which the software assigns the physical disks:
c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89
-c "activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryDiskGroup=2 freeCapacityArea=2;"
The command in this example creates a new replication repository virtual disk in disk group 2 using the second free
capacity area.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
activate storageArray feature=remoteReplication
repositoryDiskGroup=2 freeCapacityArea=2;
Activating the Remote Replication Premium Feature by Specifying a Number of Physical Disks
With this version of the activate storageArray feature= remoteReplication command, you must specify the number of
physical disks and the RAID level that you want for the replication repository virtual disk. This version of the command
