Notes
You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#) for
the names. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.
Stop FlashCopy
This command stops a copy-on-write operation.
Syntax
stop flashcopy (logicaDrive [ logicaDriveName ] |
logicaDrives [ logicaDriveName1 ... logicaDriveNameN ])
Parameters
Parameter Description
logicaDrive
or
logicaDrives
The name of the specific logical drive for which you want to
stop a copy-on-write operation. You can enter more than one
logical drive name. Enclose the logical drive names using one of
these forms:
v
On a Windows command line:
\" logicaldriveName\"
v
In a Windows script engine window:
[" logicaldriveName"]
v On a Linux command line: \" logicaldriveName\"
v In a Linux script engine window: [\" logicaldriveName\"]
Notes
Names can be any combination of alphanumeric characters, underscore (_), hyphen (-), and pound (#).
Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.
One technique for naming the FlashCopy logical drive and the FlashCopy repository logical drive is to
add a hyphenated suffix to the original base logical drive name. The suffix distinguishes between the
FlashCopy logical drive and the FlashCopy repository logical drive. For example, if you have a base
logical drive with a name of Engineering Data, the FlashCopy logical drive can have a name of
Engineering Data-S1, and the FlashCopy repository logical drive can have a name of EngineeringData-R1.
If you do not choose a name for either the FlashCopy logical drive or the FlashCopy repository logical
drive, the storage management software creates a default name by using the base logical drive name. An
example of the FlashCopy logical drive name that the controllers might create is, if the base logical drive
name is
aaa and does not have a FlashCopy logical drive, the default FlashCopy logical drive name is
aaa-1 . If the base logical drive already has n-1 number of FlashCopy logical drives, the default name is
aaa-n . An example of the FlashCopy repository logical drive name that the controller might create is, if
the base logical drive name is aaa and does not have a FlashCopy repository logical drive, the default
FlashCopy repository logical drive name is aaa-R1 . If the base logical drive already has n-1 number of
FlashCopy repository logical drives, the default name is aaa-Rn .
Stop FlashCopy Rollback
This command stops a FlashCopy rollback operation that was initiated by the
start rollback logical
drive
command.
CAUTION:
Canceling a rollback operation leaves the base logical drive in an indeterminate state with potentially
invalid or inconsistent data. The related FlashCopy logical drive becomes disabled and unusable.
