Using the Virtual Disk Copy Feature 87
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" 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
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"];
