CLI Guide

Create Remote Replication Group
Description
This command creates a new, empty remote replication group on both the local storage array and the
remote storage array. A remote replication group is a container that can house several replicated pairs so
that they can be managed as one entity. You create a remote replication group to define the
synchronization settings for all replicated pairs within the group. Each replicated pair in a remote
replication group share the same synchronization settings, primary and secondary role, and write mode.
The remote replication group is associated with the local storage array and remote storage array that is
used for replicating. The local storage array is the primary side of the remote replication group, while the
remote storage array is the secondary side of the remote replication group. All virtual disks added to the
remote replication group on the local storage array hold the primary role in the replicate relationship.
Subsequently, all virtual disks added to the remote replication group on the remote storage array hold the
secondary role in the replicate relationship.
Make sure that you execute the create remote replication group command on the local storage
array. Remote replication group creation is initiated from the storage array that contains the virtual disks
that hold the primary role in the replicate relationship. You use the create remote replication
group
command to specify the identity of the remote storage array that contains the virtual disks that
hold the secondary role in the replicate relationship.
