How to check the status of the HPE 3PAR Remote Copy Group

July 17, 2019

Problem

I have created some remote copy groups to replicate the files between primary DC 3PAR storage and DR 3PAR storage devices. Now I want to check the status of the Remote Copy Groups which are being replicated from one 3PAR (primary DC) to another 3PAR (DR).

Environment:

  • HPE 3PAR Model: 7400
  • HPE 3PAR version 3.2.1 (MU3)

Solution

  • Login to HPE 3PAR Command Line Interface (CLI) using the credentials. Default login credentials (username/password) are 3paradm/3pardata
  • Run the showrcopy command to check the status of the remote copy groups as shown below: 
    DC-SAN cli% showrcopy

  • To check the status of a specific remote copy group, run the showrcopy command with the options shown below. Here I checked the status of the remote copy group PDF_FILES_1 only. 
    DC-SAN cli% showrcopy groups PDF_FILES_1
