How to Add a Data Replication Device Group to an EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility Protection Group

1. Log in to a cluster node.

   You must be assigned the Geo Management RBAC rights profile to complete this procedure. For more information about RBAC, see Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Software and RBAC in Sun Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.

2. Create a data replication device group in the protection group.

   This command adds a device group to a protection group on the local cluster and propagates the new configuration to the partner cluster if the partner cluster contains a protection group of the same name.

   # geopg add-device-group -p property [-p...] devicegroupname protectiongroupname

   -p property

   Specifies the properties of the data replication device group.

   You can specify the following EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility properties:

   • DG_or_CG – Specifies that the device group is an EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility device group.

     You must set this property to DG.

   • R1SID – Specifies the primary (RDF1) EMC Symmetrix ID of the EMC Symmetrix devices.

     The data replication layer automatically sets the value of this property. You should specify the primary (RDF1) EMC Symmetrix ID of the EMC Symmetrix devices if you change the settings of the EMC Symmetrix host.

   • R2SID – Specifies the secondary (RDF2) EMC Symmetrix ID of the EMC Symmetrix devices.

     The data replication layer automatically sets the value of this property. You should specify the secondary (RDF2) EMC Symmetrix ID of the EMC Symmetrix devices if you change the settings of the EMC Symmetrix host.

   devicegroupname

   Specifies the name of the new data replication device group.

   protectiongroupname

   Specifies the name of the protection group that will contain the new data replication device group.

   For information about the names and values that are supported by Sun Cluster Geographic Edition software, see Appendix B, Legal Names and Values of Sun Cluster Geographic Edition Entities, in Sun Cluster Geographic Edition System Administration Guide.

   For more information about the geopg command, refer to the geopg(1M) man page.

Example 2–10 Adding a Data Replication Device Group to an EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility Protection Group

This example adds the EMC Symmetrix Remote Data Facility data replication device group to the srdfpg protection group.

# geopg add-device-group devgroup1 srdfpg
