Managing Flashcopy By Using The Gui - IBM Storwize V5010 Manual

Another use case, which is not supported by the name, is to create and maintain (periodically

10.4 Managing FlashCopy by using the GUI

It is often easier to work with the FlashCopy function from the GUI if you have a reasonable
number of host mappings. However, in enterprise data centers with many host mappings, we
suggest that you use the CLI to run your FlashCopy commands.
This section describes the tasks that you can perform at a FlashCopy level using the IBM
Spectrum Virtualize GUI.
The following methods can be used to visualize and manage your FlashCopy:
Use the main pane. Move the mouse pointer over Copy Services in the dynamic menu and
click FlashCopy, as shown in Figure 10-10.
