Converting a Primary to a Secondary

Use the vxrds makesec command to convert the specified Primary RVG to a Secondary RVG and associate it to the RDS, to which the RVG belongs. The oldsec_hostname parameter specifies the name of the host which is now the new Primary.

You must run this command only after you perform the Takeover operation.

Note:

Make sure that you run the vxrds makesec command only on the original Primary.

If the original Primary RVG is part of a VCS cluster and the RVGPrimary resource exists, then Volume Replicator fails the vxrvg makesec command for this RVG.

Syntax for vxrds makesec command

vxrds [-g <diskgroup>] makesec <local_rvg> <oldsec_hostname>

Example

vxrds -g vvrdg makesec rvg host
