replicate volume Description Creates a replication snapshot of the specified volume and initiates a replication operation. This command can follow a create replication-set command that did not specify to initiate replication. If the snapshot you want to replicate already exists, use the replicate snapshot command instead. NOTE: If replication requests are sent to a secondary system whose temporary replication license has expired, the requests are queued but are not processed, and the secondary system reports event 472. If this condition occurs, check for this event in the event log, event-notification emails, and SNMP traps. To continue using replication, purchase a permanent replication license. Syntax replicate volume [set replication-set] snapshot replication-snapshot [preserve-snapshot external-snapshot] volume Parameters set replication-set Optional. The name or serial number of the replication set. snapshot replication-snapshot The name for the new replication snapshot. A snapshot name is case sensitive; can include spaces and printable UTF-8 characters except a left angle bracket, backslash, comma, or double quote; and can have a maximum of 32 bytes. A name that includes a space must be enclosed in double quotes. preserve-snapshot external-snapshot Optional. The name of the external snapshot to use as the source for this replication. This preserves the snapshot that is being used to replicate the volume as an external snapshot; otherwise, the snapshot is converted to a replication snapshot. volume The name or serial number of the primary volume to replicate. If the name is not unique across replication sets, specify the set parameter. Example Replicate volume MV1 and name the replication snapshot RepSnap1: # replicate volume snapshot RepSnap1 MV1 Info: The replication has started. (RepSnap1) Success: Command completed successfully. (2012-01-20 10:53:25) See also • show replication-sets • show replication-volumes 114
