Setting the connectivity property for a VOB replica

To indicate whether a sibling replica has IP connectivity to your current replica, use the chreplica command with the –isconnected or –nconnected option.

About this task

The connectivity property is stored locally and is checked when you enter a command that requires connectivity to a sibling replica (for example, lsepoch –actual or chepoch –actual). If the sibling replica is marked as not connected, the command will fail quickly.

You can also use the Properties Browser on Windows®. When you display properties of a sibling replica, the General page indicates whether the replica has IP connectivity to the current replica. You can change this property by setting or clearing the check box.

Procedure

  1. Invoke the chreplica command: 
    multitool chreplica –isconnected sanfran_hub
Updated replica information for "sanfran_hub".
  2. Use the describe command to verify that the property is set: 
    multitool describe replica:sanfran_hub
replica "sanfran-hub"
...
  connectivity: connected
