Configuring Primary and Secondary Disks
EMC Symmetrix
For an EMC Symmetrix disk array on the NetBackup client, you need to create device
groups, add primary and mirror (secondary) devices to the groups, and associate or pair
the primaries with the secondaries. Once associated, the secondary disks must be
synchronized with the primary disks. During synchronization, the primary disks are
copied to the secondaries.
Use the following commands.
Note Please refer to your EMC TimeFinder Symapi documentation for more details on
these commands.
symdg
Creates a disk group.
symld
Adds primary disk to the disk group.
symbcv
Associates a secondary disk with a primary disk.
▼ Create the EMC Symmetrix disk groups
1. Create a disk group that will contain any number of primary and secondary disks.
symdg create nbfim_test
Creates disk group named nbfim_test.
2. Add primary disks to the disk group.
symld -g nbfim_test add dev 02A
Adds primary disk 02A to disk group nbfim_test.
3. Add secondary (BCV) disks to the disk group.
symbcv -g nbfim_test associate dev 08C BCV001
Adds the secondary disk 08C to the same disk group.
4. Synchronize the secondary disks with the primaries in the disk group.
symmir -g nbfim_test establish
