Chapter 11. Remote Mirroring
The following sections describe the XIV Command Line Interface (XCLI) for
remote mirroring. Other command that are relevant to this topic is: Setting a
Threshold for Link Disruption Duration that Triggers an Event.
The sections are listed as follows:
v mirror_cancel_snapshot( Cancels all Snapshot Mirrors ('ad-hoc' sync jobs) of a
specified master volume or a master Consistency Group, that have not run yet.)
v mirror_create_snapshot(Creates a Snapshot Mirror. In synchronous replication,
takes a snapshot of the source peer (Master) and the target peer (Slave) at
exactly the same time. In asynchronous replication, the command establishes a
process that takes a point-in-time snapshot of the source peer (Master) and
synchronizes that point-in-time with the Slave. The process will set a new
sync-job to copy the differences between that snapshot and the most recent
snapshot that is guaranteed to be synchronized with the target peer.)
v mirror_activate(Activates mirroring for a defined mirror coupling.)
v mirror_change_rpo(Changing Local/Remote RPO for a mirror relation)
v mirror_change_designation( Changes the designation of mirroring peers - from
Primary to Secondary, and from Secondary to Primary.)
v mirror_change_remote_schedule(Changes the replication schedule of a remote
Slave peer.)
v mirror_change_role(Changes the role of a local mirroring peer between Master
and Slave)
v mirror_change_schedule( Changes the replication schedule for peers on the local
system.)
v mirror_create(Creates remote mirroring coupling.)
v mirror_deactivate(Deactivates mirroring for a defined mirror coupling.)
v mirror_delete(Deletes a remote mirroring coupling definition.)
v mirror_list(Lists the status and configuration of mirroring couplings)
v mirror_statistics_get(The command presents statistics that are automatically
gathered by the system on past sync jobs corresponding to a specified mirrored
volume or consistency job.)
v mirror_switch_roles(Switches roles between master and slave volumes.)
v rpo_thresholds_get(Listing system RPO related thresholds, that once crossed
will trigger the creation of a corresponding event)
v rpo_thresholds_set(Setting system RPO related thresholds, that once crossed
will trigger the creation of a corresponding event)
v schedule_change( Changes the interval of a schedule.)
v schedule_create(Defines a schedule for replication.)
v schedule_create_tick(Triggers a schedule-equivalent event for the couplings with
the specified schedule.)
v schedule_delete(Deletes a schedule for replication.)
v schedule_list(Lists the schedule properties for the specified coupling.)
v schedule_rename(Renames a schedule object.)
v sync_job_list(Lists the status of queued and running sync jobs for asynchronous
couplings)
