Mapping disk groups

If the RVGs on the Primary and Secondary are in differently named disk groups, the disk group mapping can be specified either when the RLINK is created, or later.

For example, if the disk group on the Primary is dg1 and on the Secondary is dg2, then use the following commands to map the disk group during RLINK creation:

Primary:

# vxmake -g dg1 rlink rlink_name remote_dg=dg2

Secondary:

# vxmake -g dg2 rlink rlink_name remote_dg=dg1

If the disk groups were not properly mapped at the time of RLINK creation, the RLINK cannot be attached. This problem can be corrected as follows:

Primary:

# vxedit -g dg1 set remote_dg=dg2 rlink_name

Secondary:

# vxedit -g dg2 set remote_dg=dg1 rlink_name
