Command Reference Guide

Specifies that if the Remote Copy is stopped as a result of the Remote Copy links going down, the
group is restarted automatically after the links come back up. If this policy is enabled for a group
while the group is stopped after link failures it will only be started when the links come up for the
failed target. If the links are already up at the time the policy is set then the group will not be
restarted at that time.
If the virtual volumes in the Remote Copy group were created using the admitrcopyvv
-createvv command, in the event of Remote Copy stopping due to link failures, the Remote
Copy group goes into failsafe mode. Failsafe mode requires that the Remote Copy group be started
manually using the startrcopygroup command.
no_auto_recover
Specifies that if the Remote Copy is stopped as a result of the Remote Copy links going down, the
group must be restarted manually after the links come back up (default).
over_per_alert
If a synchronization of a periodic Remote Copy group takes longer to complete than its
synchronization period then an alert will be generated. This is the default behavior.
no_over_per_alert
If a synchronization of a periodic Remote Copy group takes longer to complete than its
synchronization period then an alert will not be generated.
<group_name>
Specifies the name of the volume group whose policy is set, or whose target direction is switched.
<target_name>
Specifies the target name for the target definition created with the creatercopytarget command.
<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 (e.g. 14h for 14 hours). 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.
RESTRICTIONS
• This command requires the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software license. Contact your local service
provider for further 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
setrcopygroup 317
