Using the Virtual Disk Copy Feature
87
this command, you are copying the data from the source virtual disk to the
target virtual disk. You are making this copy because the data on the source
virtual disk changed since the previous copy was made.
Refer to steps 1 through 4 in the preceding section, "Preparing Host Servers to
Recopy a Virtual Disk" on page 85. The following example is the script file
version of the command:
recopy virtualDiskCopy target ["Obi_1"]
copyPriority=highest;
Stopping a Virtual Disk Copy
The stop virtualDiskCopy command enables you to stop a virtual disk copy
that has a status of In Progress, Pending, or Failed. After you stop a virtual
disk copy, you can use the recopy virtualDiskCopy command to create a new
virtual disk copy using the original virtual disk copy pair. All mapped hosts
will have write access to the source virtual disk.
The following syntax is the general form of the command:
stop virtualDiskCopy target [ targetName ] [source
[ sourceName ]]
The following example shows a command to stop a virtual disk copy
operation:
client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "stop virtualDiskCopy
target [\"Obi_1\"];"
The following example is the script file version of the command:
stop virtualDiskCopy target ["Obi_1"];
Removing Copy Pairs
The remove virtualDiskCopy command enables you to remove a virtual disk
copy pair from the storage array configuration. All virtual disk copy
information for the source virtual disk and target virtual disk is removed from
the storage array configuration. The data on the source virtual disk or target
virtual disk is not deleted. Removing a virtual disk copy from the storage array
configuration also removes the read-only attribute for the target virtual disk.
