Parameters
Parameter
enhancedFlashCopyGroup
deleteRepositoryMembers
Notes
You can delete an Enhanced FlashCopy group if it is empty or if it contains Enhanced FlashCopy images.
All of the Enhanced FlashCopy images in the Enhanced FlashCopy group are deleted along with the
Enhanced FlashCopy group. If any existing Enhanced FlashCopy image within the Enhanced FlashCopy
group has an associated Enhanced FlashCopy logical drive, each Enhanced FlashCopy logical drive is
stopped and detached from the Enhanced FlashCopy image. When you delete an Enhanced FlashCopy
group the associated repository logical drive is also deleted. By default, all member logical drives in the
repository logical drive are retained as unused, unmapped standard logical drives. To remove the
member logical drives set the deleteRepositoryMembers parameter to TRUE, or do not use this parameter.
To keep the member logical drives, set the deleteRepositoryMembers parameter to FALSE.
