Copy Service commands

Use the Copy Service commands to work with the Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, and HyperSwap® services that are provided by the system.

chpartnership
Use the chpartnership command to modify the bandwidth of the partnership between the local system and the remote system that is specified in the command. This affects the bandwidth that is available for background copy in a system partnership by either Metro Mirror or Global Mirror operations. Additionally, use this command to disable and re-enable the partnership, which allows the local system to be disconnected and then reconnected to the remote system.
chrcconsistgrp
Use the chrcconsistgrp command to modify attributes of an existing Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency group, such as changing the name of a consistency group.
chrcrelationship
Use the chrcrelationship command to modify certain attributes of an existing relationship, such as to add a relationship to a consistency group to remove a relationship from a consistency group, and to change the name of the relationship. You can change one attribute at a time.
lspartnership
Use the lspartnership command to display a concise or detailed view of the current clustered systems (systems) that are associated with the local system.
lspartnershipcandidate
Use the lspartnershipcandidate command to list the clustered systems available for setting up a partnership with the local system. This is a prerequisite for creating inter-system Metro or Global Mirror relationships.
lsrcconsistgrp
Use the lsrcconsistgrp command to return a concise list or a detailed view of remote copy consistency groups such as Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency groups visible to the system.
lsrcrelationship
Use the lsrcrelationship command to return a concise list or a detailed view of remote copy relationships such as Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active relationships visible to the system.
lsrcrelationshipcandidate
Use the lsrcrelationshipcandidate command to list volumes that can form Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active relationships. You can list eligible volumes that are on the local or remote system.
lsrcrelationshipprogress
Use the lsrcrelationshipprogress command to display the progress of the background copy of a Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active relationship as a percentage. When the initial background copy process for a relationship completes, a null value is displayed for the progress of that relationship.
mkfcpartnership
Use the mkfcpartnership command to define partnerships using Fibre Channel (FC) or Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE).
mkippartnership
Use the mkippartnership command to define a new partnership created over Internet Protocol (IP) links.
mkpartnership (Discontinued)
mkrcconsistgrp
Use the mkrcconsistgrp command to create a new, empty remote copy consistency group. If the -cluster parameter is not specified, the consistency group is created on the local system only.
mkrcrelationship
Specify the mkrcrelationship command to create a new Global Mirror, Metro Mirror, or active-active relationship with volumes in the same system, forming an intrasystem Metro Mirror relationship or intersystem relationship (if it involves more than one system).
rmpartnership
Use the rmpartnership command to remove a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror partnership on one system. Because the partnership exists on both systems, it is necessary to run this command on both systems to remove both sides of the partnership. If the command is run on only one system, the partnership enters a partially configured state on the other system.
rmrcconsistgrp
Use the rmrcconsistgrp command to delete an existing Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency group.
rmrcrelationship
Use the rmrcrelationship command to delete an existing remote copy relationship.
startrcconsistgrp
Specify startrcconsistgrp to start the Global Mirror, Metro Mirror, or active-active consistency group copy process, set the direction of copy if it is undefined, and optionally mark the secondary volumes of the consistency group as clean.
startrcrelationship
Use the startrcrelationship command to start the Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationship copy process, set the direction of copy if undefined, and (optionally) mark the secondary volume of the relationship as clean. The relationship must be a stand-alone relationship. You can also use this command to restart the active-active relationship copy process after you specify stoprcrelationship -access.
stoprcconsistgrp
Use the stoprcconsistgrp command to stop the copy process for a Metro Mirror, Global Mirror, or active-active consistency group. This command can also be used to enable write access to the secondary volumes in the group if the group is in a consistent state.
stoprcrelationship
Use the stoprcrelationship command to stop the copy process for a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror stand-alone relationship. You can also use this command to enable write access to a consistent secondary volume that includes for an active-active relationship.
switchrcconsistgrp
Use the switchrcconsistgrp command to reverse the roles of the primary and secondary volumes in a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror consistency group when that consistency group is in a consistent state. All the relationships in the consistency group are affected by this change.
switchrcrelationship
Use the switchrcrelationship command to reverse the roles of primary and secondary volumes in a stand-alone Metro Mirror or Global Mirror relationship when that relationship is in a consistent state.
