Stopping A Virtual Disk Copy; Removing Copy Pairs - Dell PowerVault MD3260 Cli Manual

The following syntax is the general form of the command:
recopy virtualDiskCopy target [targetName] [source
[sourceName] copyPriority=(highest | high | medium
| low | lowest) targetReadOnlyEnabled=(TRUE | FALSE)]
NOTE: Use one or all of the optional parameters as needed to help define your configuration. It is not necessary to
use any optional parameters.
Refer to steps 1 through 4 in the preceding section, Preparing Host Servers To Recopy A Virtual Disk. The following
example shows a command that changes the copy priority:
client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "recopy
virtualDiskCopy target [\"Obi_1\"] copyPriority=highest;"
The command in this example copies data from the source virtual disk associated with the target virtual disk Obi_1 to the
target virtual disk again. The copy priority is set to the highest value to complete the virtual disk copy as quickly as
possible. The underlying consideration for using this command is that you have already created the virtual disk copy
pair. When you create a virtual disk copy pair, you automatically created one virtual disk copy. Using 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. 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 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.
CAUTION: If the virtual disk copy has a status of In Progress, you must stop the virtual disk copy before you can
remove the virtual disk copy pair from the storage array configuration.
The following syntax is the general form of the command:
remove virtualDiskCopy target [targetName] [source [sourceName]]
