2. Verify the reversal of volume group roles.
a. Issue the showrcopy command on the failover system (for example, System2).
b. In the Group Information area, check that the Role column for the reversed volume group
displays Primary-Rev (primary as a result of reversal).
For example, the showrcopy output on System2 shows that the role of sync_group_1.r96 is
now Primary-Rev:
# showrcopy

3. (Optional) To back up data in the reversed volume groups, export the reversed virtual volumes
(for example, remotevv.0 and remotevv.1) as read/write snapshots.
Recovery
1. Recover the failed system.
2. When both systems in the Remote Copy pair are ready to resume normal operation, reverse
the natural direction of data flow and resynchronize the systems. On the failover system
(System2), enter:
# setrcopygroup recover -t <target_name>
• <target_name> - Name of the target system with which to synchronize (System1)
The setrcopygroup recover command copies data from the reversed volume groups on
the failover system to the corresponding volume groups on the recovered system. In this
example, it copies data from the virtual volumes in volume group sync_group_1.r96 on System2
to sync_group_1 on System1.
3. Verify that the Remote Copy pair is synchronizing:
