150 Creating a Synchronous Mirroring Pair
The command takes this form:
c:\...\sm X \client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89

-c “show remoteMirror candidates
primary=\“ volumeName \”

remoteStorageArrayName=\“ storageArrayName \”;”
where
volumeName
is the name of the volume that you want to use for the primary
volume, and
storageArrayName
is the remote storage array that contains
possible candidates for the secondary volume. Enclose both the volume name and the
storage array name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
Creating a Remote
Mirrored Pair
When you create a new remote mirror, you must define which volumes that you want
to use for the primary (local) volume and the secondary (remote) volume. You define
the primary volume by the name of the volume. You define the secondary volume by
name with either the name or the World Wide Identifier (WWID) of the storage array
on which the secondary volume resides. The primary volume name, the secondary
volume name, and the remote storage array name (or WWID) are the minimum
information that you need to provide. Using this command, you can also define
synchronization priority, write order, and write mode.
The command takes this form:
create remoteMirror primary=“ primaryVolumeName ”

secondary=“ secondaryVolumeName ”

(remoteStorageArrayName=“ storageArrayName ” |

remoteStorageArrayWwn=“ wwID ”) remotePassword= password

syncPriority=(highest | high | medium | low | lowest)

writeOrder=(preserved | notPreserved)

writeMode=(synchronous | asynchronous)
NOTE
You can use the optional parameters as needed to help define your
configuration.
This example shows the
create remoteMirror
command:
c:\...\sm X \client>smcli 123.45.67.88 123.45.67.89

-c “create remoteMirror primary=\”Jan_04_Account\”

secondary=\”Jan_04_Account_B\”
remoteStorageArrayName=\”Tabor\”

remotePassword=\”jdw2ga05\” syncPriority=highest

writeMode=synchronous;”
The command in this example creates a remote mirror in which the primary volume is
named Jan_04_Account on the local storage array. The secondary volume is named
Jan_04_Account_B on the remote storage array that is named Tabor. The names used
in this example are similar, but that is not a requirement for the volume names in a
remote mirrored pair. In this example, the remote storage array has a password that
you must enter when making any change to the storage array configuration. Creating
