/# Associate the BCV for pairingTo perform TimeFinder mirroring or standardBCV pairing" the standard and BCV mirrordeices of yor prodction images mst be members of the same deice grop# 1nitially" forthe creation of gien standardBCV pair" the potential BCV deice mst first be associated  ithan e'isting deice or deice grop# hen yo associate a BCV deice ith a standard deice"

yo can assign it a logical deice name# 1f not" a logical deice name gets assignedatomatically# 3o can e'plicitly associate one BCV to a standard deice or a range of BCVs tothe or!ing TimeFinder deice grop#

To associate BCV00/ ith deice 00/F" enter,

  symbcv –g DgName [–sid SymmID ] associate dev 001F BCV001

4r to associate a range of deices to a deice grop" enter,

symbcv –g DgName [–sid SymmID ] associateall dev –RANGE 087:08A

2# Full Establish the pair 

To obtain a copy of the data on a standard deice" the BCV deice of the pair mst beestablished#

To initiate a fll establish on a specific standardBCV deice pair" target the standard deiceand enter,

  symmir –g DgName –full establish DEV001

5# Full Establish all pairs in a groupTo initiate a fll establish on all BCV pairs in a deice grop" enter,

  symmir –g DgName –full establish 

6# Verify the establish operation completes (Synchronie!"To erify hen the BCV pairs reach the fll copied or &ynchroni%ed state" se the verify 

action as follos,

 symmir –g DgName –i 30 verify

ith this interal and cont" the message is displayed eery 50 seconds ntil the pair isestablished#
