Description
To convert a distributed consistency group to a local consistency group, this command converts all distributed devices under
each virtual volume to local distributed devices. The legs on the specified cluster become the supporting device of the virtual
volumes. All target devices should not be migration temporary devices and should not be exported to any other cluster.
consistency-group create
Creates and names an empty consistency group.
Contexts
All contexts.
In /clusters/cluster-n/consistency-groups/group-name context, command is create.
Syntax
consistency-group create
[-n|--name] consistency-group name
[-c|--cluster] cluster
Arguments
Required arguments
[-n|--name]
consistency-group name
* Name of the new consistency group. Must be unique within a cluster. Name conflicts across s
can be resolved by changing the name later using the set name command.
[-c|--cluster]
cluster
Context path of the at which to create the consistency group. If the current context is a cluster
or below, that is the default. Otherwise, this argument is required.
* - argument is positional.
Description
Creates and names an empty consistency group.
A maximum of 1024 consistency groups can be configured.
Each consistency group can contain up to 1000 .
All consistency groups have configurable properties that determine I/O behavior, including:
● cache mode - synchronous
● visibility - determines which s know about a consistency group. Default is only to the where the consistency group was
created. Modified using the set command.
● storage-at-clusters - tells metro node at which the physical storage associated with a consistency group is located.
Modified using the set command.
● local-read-override - whether the volumes in this consistency group use the local read override optimization. Default
is true. Modified using the set command.
● detach-rule - determines the winning when there is an inter- link outage. Modified using the consistency-
group set-detach-rule active-cluster-wins, consistency-group set-detach-rule no-automatic-
winner, and consistency-group set-detach-rule winner commands.
