DESCRIPTION

This command creates a copy group.

OPTIONS

-g copyGroup

This option specifies the copy group name.

The copy group name is an alias for the copy group that can be used with AdvancedCopy Manager CCM or Express.

Specify using up to 64 alphanumeric characters, minus sign (-), underscore (_), number sign (#), period (.), and plus sign (+). The first character must be an alphanumeric character.
For Windows environments, copy group names are not case-sensitive.
For Solaris or Linux environments, copy group names are case-sensitive.

An error may occur when an attempt is made to create a copy group with the same name as a copy group that has already been registered.

-type {OPC | QuickOPC | SnapOPCP | EC | REC}

This option specifies the type of copy used within the copy group.

Specify one of the following copy types. The meaning of "SnapOPCP" is SnapOPC+.

• OPC

• QuickOPC

• SnapOPCP

• EC

• REC

-a diskArrayName

This option specifies the ETERNUS name.

Specify the following ETERNUS Disk storage system:

• ETERNUS Disk storage system which is operated by Copy command via SAN

  For REC, the access volume of the ETERNUS Disk storage system specified here is used.

• ETERNUS Disk storage system which is operated by Copy command via LAN

  For REC, the connection route for the ETERNUS Disk storage system specified here is used.

-tfoa tfoDiskArrayName

Specify when creating a copy group using the Storage Cluster Continuous Copy function. Specify the ETERNUS Disk storage system to which the TFO group that is paired with a TFO group belonging to the ETERNUS Disk storage system specified with the -a option belongs.
An ETERNUS Disk storage system with a different communication method from the ETERNUS Disk storage system specified with the -a option cannot be specified.
An ETERNUS Disk storage system registered as a remote ETERNUS Disk storage system device cannot be used.
This option can only be specified when the copy type specified with the -type option is "OPC", "QuickOPC" or "EC".

-remote remoteDiskArrayName

For REC, the ETERNUS name besides the specified ETERNUS Disk storage system is specified by the -a option.

The access volume or connection route of the ETERNUS Disk storage system specified by the -a option is used, instead of the access volume or connection route of the ETERNUS Disk storage system specified here.
