mkfcpartnership
Use the mkfcpartnership command to define partnerships using Fibre Channel (FC) or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
Syntax

Parameters
- -linkbandwidthmbits link_bandwidth_in_mbps
- (Required) Specifies the aggregate bandwidth of the Remote Copy (RC) link between
two clustered systems (systems in megabits per second (Mbps). It is a numeric value from
1 to 100000. Note: Remote copy includes Metro Mirror and Global Mirror.This value remains the same after a system update.Note: If the specified value is non-zero, the combination of both the -backgroundcopyrate and the -linkbandwidthmbits values must result in a background copy bandwidth of at least 8 Mbps.
- -backgroundcopyrate percentage
- (Optional) Specifies the maximum percentage of aggregate link bandwidth that can be used for
background copy operations. It is a numeric value from 0 to 100,
and the default value is 50, which means that a maximum of 50% of the aggregate
link bandwidth can be used for background copy operations. This parameter can be specified without
stopping the partnership.Note: If the specified value is non-zero, the combination of both the -backgroundcopyrate and the -linkbandwidthmbits values must result in a background copy bandwidth of at least 8 Mbps.
- remote_system_id | remote_system_name
- (Required) Specifies the remote system ID or name of a partnership. The specified value must match one of the system IDs or names returned after issuing lspartnershipcandidate.
Description
This command defines FC-based or FCoE-based partnerships. However, all existing partnerships are automatically updated to FC partnerships, any invocation of this command is applicable only to FC-based partnerships, and all partnerships created are FC-based partnerships.
