Example - Synchronizing the Secondary using full synchronization with Storage Checkpoint

This example explains how to synchronize the Secondary RVG hr_rvg on the Secondary host london with the Primary RVG on host seattle.

To synchronize the Secondary RVG hr_rvg on london with its Primary RVG on seattle using full synchronization

  1. Verify that the RLINKs are detached to ensure that replication is stopped.
  2. Issue the following command from any host in the RDS:
    # vradmin -g hrdg -full -c checkpt_presync syncrvg hr_rvg \
        london

    Note that you can use the -c option with the vradmin syncrvg command when performing full synchronization, to automatically start a Storage Checkpoint with the specified name. After the data volumes are synchronized, the Storage Checkpoint is ended. This Storage Checkpoint can then be used to start replication using the vradmin startrep command.

    The name checkpt_presync is the Primary Storage Checkpoint that you will create.

  3. After the synchronization is complete, issue the following command to start replication using the Storage Checkpoint:
    # vradmin -g hrdg -c checkpt_presync startrep hr_rvg london
