Use the vxrlink status command to display the replication status of the Secondary, represented by the specified RLINK. This command can be run only on the Primary. During normal replication, if the Secondary is not up-to-date, the command displays the number of outstanding writes, and the percentage of the Replicator Log used by this RLINK. The command also displays the status of the autosynchronization process when it is in progress.

Use the -i <interval> option to display the replication status at the specified time intervals.

The -t <timestamp> option specifies the number of lines after which the current date and time is displayed.

Use the -T option to display the units of time by which the Secondary lags if it is not up-to-date.

When failback logging is enabled this command can be used on the new Primary and the original Primary. If the vxrlink status command is used on the new Primary, the command displays the status of the RLINK corresponding to the original Primary.

After takeover, if the vxrlink status command is used on the original Primary (acting Secondary) then the command appropriately displays the status of the Replicator Log or DCM replay being performed to the new Primary.

Syntax for vxrlink status command

vxrlink [-g <diskgroup>] [-r <rvg>] [-i <interval>] 
\[-t    <timestamp>] [-T] status <rlink>

Example
