Changing Remote Replication Settings - Dell PowerVault MD3620f Command Line Interface Manual

Setting the write mode to synchronous and the synchronization priority to
highest means that host write requests are written to the primary virtual
disk and then immediately copied to the secondary virtual disk. These actions
help to make sure that the data on the secondary virtual disk is as accurate a
copy of the data on the primary virtual disk as possible. The highest
synchronization priority does, however, use more system resources, which can
reduce system performance.
This example shows how to use the command in a script file:
create remoteReplication primary="Jan_04_Account"
secondary="Jan_04_Account_B" remoteStorageArrayName=
"Tabor"
remotePassword="jdw2ga05" syncPriority=highest
writeMode=synchronous;
After you have created a remote replication, you can see the progress of data
synchronization between the primary virtual disk and the secondary virtual
disk by running the show remoteReplication
synchronizationProgress command. This command shows the
progress as a percentage of data synchronization that has completed.

Changing Remote Replication Settings

The set remoteReplication command lets you change the property settings
for a remote replicated pair. Use this command to change these property
settings:
• The virtual disk role (either primary or secondary)
• The synchronization priority
• The write order
• The write mode
You can apply the changes to one or several remote replicated pairs by using
this command. Use the primary virtual disk name to identify the remote
replicated pairs for which you are changing the properties.
This example shows how to use the set remoteReplication command:
c:\...\smX\client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89
