Creating Thin Image pairs and defining them in snapshot or consistency groups using CCI

You can create pairs and define the pairs in a snapshot group or in a consistency group. Define pairs to consistency groups to perform pair tasks on all of the pairs within the group. This task describes how to do this using CCI.

Procedure

  1. Create the Thin Image pair and define the pair in a snapshot or consistency group. To do this using CCI, run the raidcom add snapshot command.

The following is an example of using the CCI raidcom command to create a pair specifying the P-VOL (LDEV#10:10), the S-VOL (LDEV#20:20), the pool (SnapPool00) in the snapshot group (db1), and the consistency group (CTG):

raidcom add snapshot -ldev_id 0x1010 0x2020 -pool SnapPool00 -snapshotgroup db1 -snap_mode CTG
