Creating a remotely mirrored NAS volume

If a NAS volume has already been created at the local site, you can create a
remotely mirrored version of that NAS volume at a remote site that will mirror the
local NAS volume. As long as the cluster is active, all data written to the local NAS
volume will be mirrored over to the remote site.
CLI command
At the command prompt, enter mkgeovol [ -s ] [ -m ] volumename -X node_name
remote_disk1 [ remote_disk2 ... ].
Parameter
-m
-s
-X node_name

Deleting a remotely mirrored NAS volume

mirrored NAS volumes by using the rmgeovol command. This command removes
NAS volumes only from the remote site. The local volumes are no longer remotely
mirrored.
CLI command
At the command prompt, enter rmgeovol volumename.
Description
Starts the mirror device after creating it. The default is to create
the remote volume without starting the mirror.
Specifies that snapshots should be mirrored remotely. If you do
not specify -s, no snapshots are mirrored remotely.
Specifies the name of the node where the remote disks reside.
