Establishing a
Connection
After you have created a replication set, you can establish a connection by connecting the replication
set to a target.
1. If you do not know which replication set you will be connecting to the target machine, the
repset list command will display the available replication sets for that source.
2. Connect the replication set to the target by using the connect command.
NOTE: As noted in the Scripting Guide Introduction on page 1-1, this guide does not explain
Storage Mirroring features and functions, only the scripting aspects of Storage Mirroring.
For details on the different features and functions, see the Storage Mirroring User’s
Guide.

Options
 repset—Name of the replication set
 target—Name of the target, an IP address on the target, or a virtual IP
address
 MAP EXACT—Specifies that the replication set data will be sent to the
same logical volume or block device on the target
 MAP BASE target_path—Substitute a complete path where you want
the replicated data to be stored on the target. For a block device, the
target will be a flat file on the file system under the specified path. A
loopback device will be needed to access the device.
