Use the vxrds addvol command to associate an existing volume as a data volume to the RDS, to which the RVG belongs. This command associates an existing volume with the corresponding RVGs on all the hosts in the RDS. The volume must already be present on all the hosts and must have the same name and size. Note that if the RDS contains a Bunker RVG then the vxrds addvol command ignores the Bunker RVG.
Note: |
Volume Replicator does not synchronize the newly added volume, and replication starts from that point onwards. |
Syntax for vxrds addvol command:
vxrds [-g<diskgroup>] addvol <local_rvg> <volume>
You can also perform difference-based synchronization using the vxrsync command as:
vxrds -g vvrdg addvol rvg volume
