Just a note on setting up scheduled tasks on 3PAR... you have to use a local account on the 3PAR to do it. If you have your 3PAR integrated with Active Directory or LDAP authentication, the tasks you schedule with these external accounts will fail to run.

As for the commands themselves to execute the remote copy sync, it should be by the book.

What condition are the remote luns to be synced in? For example, are they to me (re)mounted by a host after the sync completes, or do they just wait for the next sync?

It is pretty straight forward to kick off a remote copy, we are going to be using external scheduling program that will just call the below script, you just pass it the Remote Copy Group name.


@ECHO OFF
@setlocal
:: Set the hostname of the 3par storage system here
set TPDSYSNAME=arrayname
:: Set the location of the pwfile you created with "setpassword -saveonly -file"
set TPDPWFILE=arrayid.pwfile
:: Force all commands to execute without confirmation
set TPDFORCE=1
:: Add the path of the 3PAR cli bin folder to your existing path
set PATH=c:\Program Files (x86)\3par\inform_cli_3.1.2\bin;%PATH%

set ERRORLEVEL=

set RCGROUP_NAME=%1


echo Starting to sync Remote Copy Group - %RCGROUP_NAME%
call syncrcopy %RCGROUP_NAME%

if %ERRORLEVEL% NEQ 0 GOTO ERROR_HANDLER

echo Synchronization of Remote Copy Group %RCGROUP_NAME% has started successfully
GOTO FINISH


:ERROR_HANDLER
echo.
echo Error occured starting synchronization of remote copy group - %RCGROUP_NAME%
echo.
exit %ERRORLEVEL%

:FINISH
