Description
The following EMC CLARiiON devices are presented to a Solaris server using Veritas DMP as the multipathing solution.
How to establish which EMC MirrorView consistency group has the primary role set
Sample syntax
In this instance, the production server is connected to the EMC CLARiiON array with an IP address of "10.209.64.27"
# /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -h 10.209.64.27 mirror -async -listgroups -name asyncCG -role
Group Name: asyncCG
Role: Primary
The DR server in this instance is connect to the EMC CLARiiON array with an IP address of "10.209.64.29"
# /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -h 10.209.64.29 mirror -async -listgroups -name asyncCG -role
Group Name: asyncCG
Role: Secondary

How to promote the EMC MirrorView secondary lun copy on the DR server
1.] Deport the respective EMC MirrorView diskgroups on the production server.
# vxdg deport asyncDG1 asyncDG2 asyncDG3
# vxdisk list
DEVICE TYPE DISK GROUP STATUS
disk_0 auto:none - - online invalid
emc_clariion0_38 auto:cdsdisk - - online
emc_clariion0_500 auto:cdsdisk - - online

emc_clariion0_504 auto:cdsdisk emc_clariion0_504 syncDG2 online
emc_clariion0_505 auto:cdsdisk emc_clariion0_505 syncDG3 online
Note: In this instance the EMC CLARiiON enclosure connected to the DR server has an IP address of "10.209.64.29"
2.] To promote the EMC MirrorView secondary luns, type:
# /opt/Navisphere/bin/naviseccli -h 10.209.64.29 mirror -async -promotegroup -name asyncCG
Warning! This command is a very powerful and unforgiving command like
formatting of a disk. Improper use of this command can have unexpected results.
