To start Group2, which contains 4 virtual volumes, and specify starting snapshots, with vv4 starting from a full resync: # startrcopygroup Group2 vv1:sv1 vv2:sv2 vv3:sv3 vv4:- NOTES • If a group's target has the mirror_config policy set and the group is a primary group, then this command will be mirrored to that target and the corresponding secondary group will be started. If the policy is set and the group is a secondary, then this command will fail. • If the mirror_config policy is not set, then the corresponding secondary group must already be started or this command will fail. • Synchronous groups are automatically synchronized when started. Asynchronous periodic volume groups are synchronized only on the first time they are started. When volumes are added to existing asynchronous periodic groups their first sync occurs the next time the entire group synchronizes. • You must enter this command on the backup system before entering it on the primary if the mirror_config policy is not set. • When a secondary group says that it is in the started state, it does not necessarily mean that the group is receiving data from the primary system. The primary group might be stopped, or its system might even be down. The fact that the group is started only indicates that the group is ready to receive writes from the primary group. To determine if writes to the volumes of the primary group are being mirrored to the secondary group, the status of the primary group must be examined. 584 Start Commands
