Examples—Off-host processing

The examples in this chapter assume that the following VVR configuration has been set up on the Primary and Secondary hosts:

Name of the Primary host: seattle

hrdg 

Disk group 

hr_rvg 

Primary RVG  

rlk_london_hr_rvg 

Primary RLINK for Secondary london 

hr_dv01 

Primary data volume #1 

hr_dv02 

Primary data volume #2 

hr_srl 

Primary SRL volume 

Name of the Secondary host: london

hrdg 

Disk group 

hr_rvg 

Secondary RVG 

rlk_seattle_hr_rvg 

Secondary RLINK for Primary seattle 

hr_dv01 

Secondary data volume #1 

hr_dv02 

Secondary data volume #2 

hr_srl 

Secondary SRL volume 

The examples use the application name dss_app for sending and receiving IBC messages.


For example 1, example 2, and example 3, perform the following steps before you begin:

  1. Create a snapshot plex on the Secondary for each data volume using the command:

    # vxassist -g hrdg snapstart hr_dv0l

    # vxassist -g hrdg snapstart hr_dv02

    You can use the -b option with the vxassist snapstart command to run the command in the background. Note that if you use the -b option of the vxassist snapstart command, you must wait for the snapshot plexes for all the data volumes in the RVG to be created and synchronized completely. When the plex synchronization completes, the output of the vxprint command displays the state of the new snapshot plex as snapdone.

  2. If you have bought a license for FastResync (FR) use the command:

    # vxvol -g hrdg set fmr=on hr_dv0l

    # vxvol -g hrdg set fmr=on hr_dv02
