See “Configuring automatic site tagging for a disk group” on page 492.
■ Assign a site name to the disks or enclosures. You can set site tags at the disk
level or at the enclosure level. If you specify one or more enclosures, the site
tag applies to the disks in that enclosure that are within the disk group.
See “Configuring site tagging for disks or enclosures” on page 492.
■ Turn on site consistency for the disk group.
See “Configuring site consistency on a disk group” on page 494.
Configuring sites for hosts
To set up a Remote Mirror configuration, specify to which site each host belongs.
Use the following command to set the site name for each host:
# vxdctl set site=sitename
The name that has been assigned to a site is stored in the /etc/vx/volboot file.
To display the site name for a host, use the following command:
# vxdctl list | grep siteid
siteid: building1
To remove the site name from a host, use the following command:
# vxdctl [-F] unset site
The -F option is required if any imported disk groups are registered to the site.
Configuring sites for storage
For a Remote Mirror configuration, each disk or enclosure in the disk group is
assigned to one of the sites in the configuration. Use site tags to specify to which
site each storage device in the disk group belongs.
Assign a site tag in one of the following ways:
■ Using automatic site tagging on a disk group.
See “Configuring automatic site tagging for a disk group” on page 492.
■ Manually tagging one or more disks or enclosures.
The disks or enclosures need not be included in a disk group.
See “Configuring site tagging for disks or enclosures” on page 492.
