You can create GAD pairs using volumes in virtual storage machines. When you want to create a GAD pair using volumes in VSMs, the VSM for the volume in the secondary site must have the same model and serial number as the VSM for the volume in the primary site.

Procedure
- Display information about the resource group of the primary storage system and check the model and serial number of the virtual storage machine in the primary storage system for which a pair is to be created.
raidcom get resource -key opt -IH0 RS_GROUP RGID V_Serial# V_ID V_IF Serial# V_NUMBER meta_resource 0 811111 RH20ML2 Y 811111 0 HAGroup1 1 833333 RH20ML2 Y 833333 1
- Specify the virtual information you checked in step 1 (the model and serial number of the virtual storage machine in the primary storage system) for the virtual information you need to create resource group "HAGroup1" in the secondary storage system.
raidcom add resource -resource_name HAGroup1 -virtual_type 833333 RH20ML2 -IH1
