What's a faster way to start 100 replications after a switchover?

Cool, thanks for the quick reply.  Do you have a sample script?  I'm not a scripting guru and Sandy has given us a real beating the last few days...

get list of sessions:

nas_replicate -l

use awk/grep and assign session ids into an array and operate against that list.

Lets' say all your session names started with repl, something like this:

[nasadmin@NS40CS ~]$ nas_replicate -l

Name                      Type       Local Mover               Interconnect         Celerra      Status

Repl_NDBFS9               filesystem server_2                  -->src_interconnect  EUNS40CS   OK

Repl_NDBFS1               filesystem server_2                  -->src_interconnect  EUNS40CS   OK

Repl_NDBFS5               filesystem server_2                  -->src_interconnect  EUNS40CS   OK

LIST=`nas_replicate -l |grep -i Repl | awk '{print $1}'`

echo $LIST

for i in $LIST

do

echo "nas_replicate -switchover ..blah blah" $i

done

try with one command to make sure it does what you wanted it to do and then copy a bunch of commands that got echo'ed to the screen and paste.

That's a great start!  I highly, highly recommend sleep statements in the script.  Each switchover command generates an entry in the database and takes (wall clock) time to process.  A whole pile of switchovers guarantees at least a few may hang or fail to start, as the database may bog down getting them all queued.  I'd throw a 15 or 30 sleep in, which really wouldn't hurt.
