Attaching a Secondary

Last published : Jul 07, 2026
Use the vxrlink att command to attach one or more RLINKs to an RVG. The RLINK must already be associated with the RVG before the attach. An RLINK on the Secondary can be attached at any time to indicate that it is ready for use as a Secondary RLINK. For the attach to succeed, the remote_host, remote_dg, and remote_rlink attributes must be set on both the Primary and the Secondary. These can be set during RLINK creation (using the vxrlink make command) or with the vxrlink set command.
The attach fails if the Primary RVG does not have a Replicator Log volume associated with it.
Note: Ensure that the data volumes on the Secondary are also of the same name and size as on the Primary for attach to succeed.
When attaching the RLINK you must specify the -c <checkpoint>, -f, or -aoption.
Syntax for vxrlink att command
vxrlink -a|-b -c <checkpoint>|-f [-g <diskgroup>] [-r <rvg>] \
att <rlink>
Example
vxrlink -g vvrdg -a att rlink
