where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
source is the source partition number
Note: Use the flashcopy map function to correlate the
ServeRAID logical drive number to the operating system
drive partition number.
v
target is the target partition number
Note: Use the flashcopy map function to correlate the
ServeRAID logical drive number to the operating system
drive partition number.
v
options is an optional parameter that includes the following:
– FORCE creates a flashcopy of a source partition that is the
boot partition, contains open files, or contains a memory
paging file.
Note: Using the FORCE option will not guarantee file
consistency between the source and target partitions.
– NOPROMPT overrides the user prompt.
flashcopy stop all
Use the flashcopy stop function to break the link between the
source partitions and target partitions. Once you issue the
flashcopy stop function, the target partition contents are no longer
valid. After you issue the flashcopy stop function, reformat your
target partition.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000
Command: ipssend flashcopy controller stop all [noprompt]
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
noprompt is an optional parameter to override the user-prompt.
flashcopy delete
Use the flashcopy delete function to delete an array. This is useful
when you have used the flashcopy backup function and you want
to move the target array to another server. After you delete the
array, you can move the drives to the other server; then, you can
issue the flashcopy import function to add the array to the existing
configuration of the other server.
You can use the ServeRAID Manager program to identify the array
you want to delete. This program can blink the LEDs for the drives
that belong to the specific array.
Important
If your target logical drive is configured with write-back cache enabled, wait 10 minutes after
the flashcopy backup completes before issuing a flashcopy delete function. This ensures
that all data has been moved from the controller cache to the logical drive.
Supported operating systems: Windows NT, Windows 2000
Note: The flashcopy delete function is not available in a cluster
configuration.
