The mkrcconsistgrp command creates a new, empty Metro Mirror or Global Mirror consistency group. If the -cluster parameter is not specified, the consistency group is created on the local cluster only.
Syntax
>>- svctask -- -- mkrcconsistgrp -- --+---------------------+---> '- -name -- new_name -' >-- --+--------------------------------+----------------------->< '- -cluster --+- cluster_id ---+-' '- cluster_name -'
Parameters
- -name new_name
- (Optional) Specifies a name for the new consistency group.
- -cluster cluster_id | cluster_name
- (Optional) Specifies the name or ID of the remote cluster. If -cluster is not specified, a consistency group is created only on the local cluster.
Description
This command creates a new consistency group. The ID of the new group is displayed after the command processes. The name must be unique across all consistency groups that are known to the clusters within this consistency group. If the consistency group involves two clusters, the clusters must be in communication throughout the create process.
The new consistency group does not contain any relationships and will be in the empty state. You can add Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationships to the group using the svctask chrcrelationship command.
An invocation example
