IBM XIV STORAGE SYSTEM, User Manual

Page: 49 / 652

If the target volume is larger then the source volume, excess storage space is freed
and returned to the target volume's Storage Pool. If the target volume is smaller
than the source volume, all storage space that is needed to support the additional
volume's capacity is reserved from the Storage Pool.
The command fails in the following cases:
v
The target is not formatted.
v The source volume is larger than the target volume, and there is not enough free
space in the Storage Pool that contains the target for target volume resizing.
v
The target volume has a snapshot associated with it or if the target volume is a
snapshot.
v
The target volume is locked.
v
The target volume is part of any mirroring definitions (either master or slave).
v
The source volume is a slave of a synchronous mirroring, and it is currently
inconsistent due to either a re-synchronization or an initialization process.
v
There is not enough free space in the Storage Pool that contains the target
In the following example, the -y option suppresses the
"ARE_YOU_SURE_YOU_WANT_TO_COPY_VOLUME Y/N" prompt.
The volume can't be copied if it is part of an IBM Hyper-Scale Mobility relation
and in Proxy phase.
Example:
vol_copy vol_src=DBVolume vol_trg=DBVolumeCopy
