16.5 DS CLI freezepprc and unfreezepprc commands

When you want to suspend all Metro Mirror pairs (and remove paths) between a pair of LSSs,
you use the freezepprc command (or its equivalent in the other interfaces). It is used for data
consistency purposes to give a recovery point at your secondary site.
When the path is defined as a Consistency Group path, issuing a freezepprc command
causes an extended long busy condition for all Metro Mirror pairs on the LSS pairing. Once
you have issued freezepprc commands for all LSS pairs, you can then issue an unfreezepprc
command (or equivalent in the other interfaces) to remove the extended long busy.
Example 16-15 shows an example of the use of the DS CLI freezepprc and the unfreezepprc
commands.
Example 16-15 freezepprc DS CLI command

These commands can be issued by your automation routine to create data consistency at the
first error message (to prevent a
issued to all LSS pairs as quickly as possible, followed by unfreezepprc commands.
