You must create a SnapMirror consistency group which also establishes the synchronous consistency group relationship.
The following prerequisites and restrictions apply:
-
You must be a cluster or storage VM administrator
-
You must have a SnapMirror Synchronous license
-
The destination volumes must be type DP
-
The primary and the secondary storage VM must be in a peered relationship
-
All constituent volumes in a consistency group must be in a single Storage VM
-
You cannot establish SM-BC consistency group relationships across ASA clusters and non-ASA clusters
You must create the consistency group relationship from the destination cluster. You can map up to 12 constituents using the cg-item-mappings
parameter on the snapmirror create
command.

Create a consistency group and constituent relationship. This example creates two consistency groups: srccg with constituent volumes vol1 and vol2, and dstcg with constituent volumes vol1_dr and vol2_dr.
