apdr command

The apdr subcommands perform the disaster recovery setup process, monitor the status of the primary and secondary system, suspend and resume the active file system replication.

Syntax

apdr [-h] {status | enable | resume | failover | sync | failback | disable | clean | suspend | config | setup | scheduler | diag | changeRole | certificate}

Optional parameters

-h|--help: Displays help for the command.

Subcommands

apdr status [-h] [-a] [-p] [-s] [--snapshot]

Checks the status of the disaster recovery. By default, the apdr status command returns the same result as apdr status --all.

Optional arguments:

-a|--all: Displays the status of primary, secondary systems and snapshots.

-p|--primary: Displays the status of primary system.

-s|--secondary: Displays the status of secondary system.

--snapshot: Displays the latest snapshot's status.

--replqueue: Displays the status of the AFM replication queues. There are three states possible: Ready, Starting and Down. While in Ready, file set is in a normal state. Starting means the start of the initial sync. Down means that a file set has an issue.

apdr enable [-h] [-a <appliance_name>]

Enables the AFMDR service on the system.

-a|--appliance-name <appliance_name>: External DNS name of the system.

apdr resume [-h]: Resumes active file system replication and converts secondary to read-only mode.

apdr failover [-h] [-w] [-n] [-s]

Initiates the failover.

-w|--wait: Initiates the failover and waits until it's completed to return control to the user.

-n|--nowait: Initiates the failover in the background and immediately returns control to the user.

-s|--status: Checks the status of disaster recovery.

apdr sync [-h] [-r] [-s <seqno>]

Runs or checks the status of snapshot generation and syncing.

-r|--run: Runs snapshot synchronization.

-s|--status <seqno>: Checks the status of the snapshot synchronization for the given ID number.

apdr failback [-h] [-s]

Initiates failback.

-s|--status: Checks the status of the disaster recovery.

apdr disable [-h] [-c]

Disables the AFMDR service on the system.

-c|--clear-appliance-name: Clears the appliance host name.

apdr clean [-h] [-s <id>] [-a] [--snapshot]

Cleans file sets.

-s|--status <id>: Checks the results of the clean-up job represented by the given ID.

-a|--all: Cleans the file sets on both the primary and the secondary system.
--snapshot: Removes all older snapshots with the exception of the latest snapshot.

apdr suspend [-h]: Suspends active file system replication and converts secondary to read/write mode.

apdr config [-h] -p <primary> --primary-ip-list <primary-ip-list> -s <secondary> --secondary-ip-list <secondary-ip-list> [--snapshot-interval <snapshot-interval>] [--scheduler-starttime <start-time>] [--check-only]

Performs the initial config of DR between primary and secondary systems.

The command requires the following parameters:

-p|--primary <primary>: Primary system host name.
--primary-ip-list <primary-ip-list>: Comma-separated external IP list of all the nodes on the primary system.
-s|--secondary <secondary>: Secondary system host name.
--secondary-ip-list <secondary-ip-list>: Comma-separated external IP list of all the nodes on the secondary system.

Optional parameters:

--snapshot-interval <snapshot-interval>: Snapshot interval value in seconds. By default set to 24 hours. The entered value must be greater than 10800 (3 hours).
--scheduler-starttime <starthour> <startminute>: Sets the start hour (0-23) and minute (0-59) of the scheduled automatic snapshot. By default the start time is set to when the apdr config command was run.
[--check-only]: Runs diagnostics between the primary and secondary systems. This option does not perform any configuration between the systems.

apdr setup [-h] [-s] [-d]

-s|--status: Checks the progress of the AFM setup.

-d|--detail: Checks the progress of the AFM setup in details.

apdr scheduler [-h] {set,start,stop,status}

set <interval> <starthour> <startminute>: Sets the interval time of the scheduler, the start hour and minute.

status: Displays the status of the scheduler, the interval and time of the next scheduled snapshot.

start: Starts the scheduler.

stop: Stops the scheduler.

apdr diag [-h] [-n] [-a] [-s <seqno>]

-n | --network: Run network diagnostics between the primary and secondary systems.
-a | --all: Run all diagnostics between the primary and secondary systems.
-s | --status <seqno>: Checks the status of the diagnostics for the specified ID number.

apdr changeRole [-h] [-s]

Initiates role reversal.

-s | --status: Checks the status of the role reversal job.

apdr certificate [-h] [-i <path>] [-e <export directory>] [-c] [-d] [-v]

-i | --import <path>: Imports certificate from provided local path to certificate directory.
-e | --export <export directory>: Export copy of certificate from the certificate directory to provided local directory
-c | --create: Create local AFM-DR certificate and key pair on this system.
-d | --delete: Delete all AFM-DR certificates on this system.
-v | --validate: Validate existence of AFM-DR certificates on this system.
