19 Promote Commands promotesv DESCRIPTION The promotesv command copies the differences of a snapshot back to its base volume, allowing you to revert the base volume to an earlier point in time. SYNTAX promotesv [options] AUTHORITY • Super, Edit • Any role granted the sv_promote right. OPTIONS -target Copy the differences of the virtual copy to the specified RW parent in the same VV family tree. The default is to copy the differences to the base volume. This option cannot be used with the -halt option. -rcp Allows the promote operation to proceed even if the RW parent volume is currently in a Remote Copy volume group, if that group has not been started. If the Remote Copy group has been started, this command fails. This option cannot be used in conjunction with the -halt option. -halt Cancels an ongoing snapshot promotion. Marks the RW parent volume with the cpf status, which can be cleaned up using the promotevvcopy (see "promotevvcopy" (page 227)) command or by issuing a new instance of the promotesv command. This option cannot be used in conjunction with any other option. -pri Specifies the priority of the copy operation when it is started. This option allows the user to control the overall speed of a particular task. If this option is not specified, the promotesv operation is started with a default priority of medium. High priority indicates that the operation will complete faster. Low priority indicates that the operation will run slower than the default priority task. This option can not be used with -halt option. SPECIFIERS Specifies the name of the virtual copy volume or set of virtual copy volumes to be promoted, using up to 31 characters in length. The virtual volume set name must start with set:. RESTRICTIONS • The virtual copy and its base volume must not be exported. • Only one promote operation is allowed at a time within a VV family tree. promotesv 225
