HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 Command Line Interface Reference

<mode_value>
Specifies the mode, sync or periodic, to which the group is set. This specifier can only be used
with the mode subcommand.
<period_value>s|m|h|d
Specifies the time period in units of seconds (s), minutes (m), hours (h), or days (d), for automatic
resynchronization (for example, 14h for 14 hours). For the asynchronous mode, this value is used
to specify the time period for automatic resynchronization. The time must be longer than or equal
to five minutes and not more than one year in duration, or set to zero to indicate that no period
should be used. This specifier can only be used with the period subcommand.
<freq_value>s|m|h|d
Specifies the time period in units of seconds (s), minutes (m), hours (h), or days (d), for automatic
coordinated snapshots taken on both local and remote systems. The time must be longer than or
equal to five minutes and not more than one year in duration. If the value is set to zero, remote
copy uses the default value (1 hour) to take coordinated snapshots.
RESTRICTIONS
• This command requires the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software license. Contact your local service
provider for more information.
• When issuing the setrcopygroup <dr_operation> command, either the <group_name>
specifier, the <target_name> specifier, or the <pattern> specifier must be specified.
• Reversing the direction of primary volumes will result in the loss of any data changed after
the group was stopped.
• The period can be set only for groups whose mode is asynchronous periodic (see
creatercopygroup).
• Do not use the reverse value of the <dr_operation> as part of the normal disaster
recovery process.
EXAMPLES
The following example sets the group policy for Group1:
# setrcopygroup pol auto_recover Group1
The following example reverses the current direction of secondary group (Group1) on the secondary
system (System2) so that I/O might be applied to the group after disaster recovery:
# setrcopygroup failover Group1.r121
The following example sets Group1 to be automatically synchronized every 30 minutes to System2:
# setrcopygroup period 30m System2 Group1
The following example reverses the current direction of all secondary groups that start with the
name testgroup so that I/O can be applied to the groups during disaster recovery:
# setrcopygroup failover -pat testgroup*
setrcopygroup 305
