flashcopy stop all
Use the flashcopy stop all function to break the link between the
source partitions and target partitions. Once you issue the
flashcopy stop all function, the target partition contents are no
longer valid. After you issue the flashcopy stop all 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 make the LEDs blink 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.
Command: ipssend flashcopy controller delete arrayID
[noprompt]
where:
v
controller is the ServeRAID controller number (1–12)
v
arrayID is the Array ID (A–H)
Note: If the array is a spanned array, arrayID is the array ID
(1–8).
v
noprompt is an optional parameter to override the user prompt.
flashcopy import
Use the flashcopy import function to merge logical drive
information from new physical drives when they are added to the
server. You can use this function to incorporate a target array after
a flashcopy backup function is completed.
Notes:
1. The stripe-unit size of the logical drives being imported must be
the same as the stripe-unit size of the logical drives on the new
controller.
