Figure 10-26 Modify - Disable FlashCopy Logical drive successful
Re-creats a FlashCopy logical drive
Re-creating a FlashCopy logical drive takes less time than creating a new one. If you have a
FlashCopy logical drive that you no longer need, instead of deleting it, you can reuse it (and
its associated FlashCopy Repository logical drive) to create a different FlashCopy logical
drive of the same base logical drive.
When you re-create a FlashCopy logical drive, note the following:
The FlashCopy logical drive must be either in an optimal or a disabled state.
All copy-on-write data on the FlashCopy Repository logical drive will be deleted.
FlashCopy logical drive and FlashCopy Repository logical drive parameters remain the
same as the previously disabled FlashCopy logical drive and its associated FlashCopy
Repository logical drive. After the FlashCopy logical drive is re-created, you can change
parameters on the FlashCopy Repository logical drive through the appropriate menu
options.
The original names for the FlashCopy logical drive and FlashCopy Repository logical
drives are retained. You can change these names after the re-create option completes.
When using this option, the previously configured FlashCopy name, parameters, and
FlashCopy repository logical drive are used.
To recreate a FlashCopy drive, follow these steps:
1. Click Re-create FlashCopy Logical Drives (Figure 10-23 on page 228) to display the
associated view (Figure 10-27).
