Parameters

-name new_name

-cluster cluster_id | cluster_name
(Optional) Specifies the name or ID of the remote system. If -cluster is not specified, a consistency group is created only on the local system.

Description

This command creates a new consistency group. The ID of the new group is displayed after the command processes. The name must be unique across all consistency groups that are known to the systems within this consistency group. If the consistency group involves two system, the systems must be in communication throughout the create process.

The new consistency group does not contain any relationships and is in an empty state. You can add Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationships to the group using the chrcrelationship command.

Remember: Names representing Metro Mirror or Global Mirror consistency groups relationships are restricted to fifteen characters in length (not sixty-three for an extended character set).

An invocation example
