Creating Metro Mirror and Global Mirror partnerships using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to create Metro Mirror and Global Mirror partnerships between two clusters.

Perform the following steps to create Metro Mirror and Global Mirror partnerships:

  1. To create Metro Mirror and Global Mirror partnerships, run the svctask mkpartnership command. For example, enter:
    svctask mkpartnership -bandwidth bandwidth_in_mbps remote_cluster_id

    where bandwidth_in_mbps specifies the bandwidth (in megabytes per second) that is used by the background copy process between the clusters and remote_cluster_id is the ID of the remote cluster.

  2. Run the svctask mkpartnership command from the remote cluster. For example, enter:
    svctask mkpartnership -bandwidth bandwidth_in_mbps local_cluster_id

    where bandwidth_in_mbps specifies the bandwidth (in megabytes per second) that is used by the background copy process between the clusters and local_cluster_id is the ID of the local cluster.
