createvvcopy DESCRIPTION The createvvcopy command creates a full physical copy of a Virtual Volume (VV) or a read/write virtual copy on another VV. This enables you to create copies of VV to perform tasks such as moving data to a larger VV or creating a copy of data for testing. Syntax The syntax for the createvvcopy command can be one of the following: • createvvcopy -p [options] • createvvcopy -p -online [-snp_cpg ] [-tpvv] • createvvcopy -r [options] • createvvcopy -halt AUTHORITY • Super, Edit • Any role that is granted the vvcopy_create right. OPTIONS -p Specifies that a snapshot of the specified parent volume or volume set is created and copied to a specified destination volume or volume set (as indicated with the specifier). The set name must start with set:. The parent volume must be a base volume or read/write snapshot. This option cannot be used with the -r option. -r Specifies that the destination volume be resynchronized with its parent volume using a saved snapshot so that only the changes since the last copy or resynchronization need to be copied. A snapshot of the parent saved using the -s option in an earlier createvvcopy instance is required for the resynchronization operation. This old snapshot is replaced by a new snapshot for the next resynchronization operation (the -s option is implied, and need not be specified). This option cannot be used with the -p option. -halt Specifies that an ongoing physical copy to be stopped. This will cause the destination volume to be marked with the 'cpf' status, which will be cleared up when a new copy is started. -s Saves the snapshot of the source volume after the copy of the volume is completed. This enables a fast copy for the next resynchronization. If not specified, the snapshot is deleted and the association of the destination volume as a copy of the source volume is removed. The -s option is implied when the -r option is used and need not be explicitly specified. -b Specifies that this command blocks until the operation is completed. If not specified, the createvvcopy command operation is started as a background task. -pri 158 Create Commands
