Editing a Replication
Source to a Target LSU
for AIR
syscli --edit ostair --sourcess <source_server_name> [--sourcelsu
<source_lsu_name>] [--disabled | --enabled] [--targetss
<target_server_name>] [--target <host_name_or_ip>] [--targetlsu
<target_lsu_name>] [--airuser <air_username>]
This CLI allows the admin user to modify the relationship that directs a Storage
Server/LSU to replicate to a target Storage Server/LSU for Automatic Image
Replication (AIR). To accomplish the edit function, --edit requires only 
--sourcess <source_server_name> as input. All other values are optional.
If an LSU name is not specified
_PhysicalLSU will be used as a default.
Note: If you have used --edit to disable OST AIR and decide to enable it, no
AIR information is required to complete the --enable. No input options
are required because OST AIR is not removed by --disable.
CLI command options:
• --edit: Directs an LSU to a target AIR storage server.
• --sourcess: Specify the Storage Server that is to be replicated. Use the
command --list storageserver to get a listing of storage server names.
• --sourcelsu: Specify the LSU on the storage server specified with --sourcess.
If not specified,
_PhysicalLSU will be used. Use command 
--list lsu --storageserver <server_name> to get a listing of LSU names.
• --disabled: If specified, will disable AIR on --sourcelsu.
• --enabled: Enable AIR if it has been disabled.
• --targetss: Specify the Storage Server on the target system to receive the
replicated image.
• --target: Specify the replication target host id. If the system or the share/
partition has two targets configured, you must use the --target option and
you must specify a target IP or hostname. If the system or the share/
partition has no target configured, invoking the commands will result in
error.
• --targetlsu: Specify the LSU on the storage server specified with --targetss.
If not specified,
_PhysicalLSU will be used.
• --airuser: Specify the username defined on the AIR server. This user must
already be created with --add airuser. Use the command --list airuser to get
a listing of defined users.
