SRDF R2 devices (replicas) are an example of an array-managed Business Continuance Volume (BCV). For consistency groups that contain these volumes, you can use the
set command to set the consistency group to read-only.
About this task
If the read-only attribute is true, the system prevents write operations to virtual volumes in the consistency group. Virtual volumes in a read-only consistency group must be local, and you must map each virtual volume one-to-one to a single storage volume (for example, local RAID 0 with no slicing).
You cannot add virtual volumes with an invalid topology to a read-only consistency group. The
consistency-group add-virtual-volumes command fails. If you set a consistency group to read-only and that consistency group already contains virtual volumes with an invalid topology, the
set read-only true command fails.
A consistency group cannot be
read-only and
recoverpoint-enabled at the same time, since the two properties are incompatible.
Steps
Use the
set command to set the consistency group to read-only.
