Example 3: Status of Smart Copy After Recovery The following example shows the status of the Smart Copies after one clone has been recovered and one clone remains in the volume recovery bin. # asmcli list smart-copy --type clone --check-status -vv Logged into PS Series group 192.x.x.xx (earth39-grp) as username grpadmin (GroupAdmin Smart Copies Source: mysystem.equallogic.com : /mnt/ns-gl1 /mnt/ns-gl2 Clone: 18-May-2017 18:47:38.101719 ObjectId: d-ae90fe-d14693ed0-4b94835698ac308b Directory: /tmp/asm3/asm-le-ns.equallogic.com/source-e-86ca5be4f2bf9ea-3660dd7d9ae03f4b/ File: .20170518-224738.101719-d-ae90fe-d14693ed0-4b94835698ac308b.bcd ns-gl1 --> ns-gl1-clone-2017:05:18-18:47:38.112 on earth39-grp ns-gl2 --> ns-gl2-clone-2017:05:18-18:47:38.371 on earth39-grp [ recovery bin ] 1 Smart Copy found. Example 4: Status of Restored Smart Copies The following example shows the status reported by the asmcli list command after all deleted Smart Copy clones have been restored. # asmcli list smart-copy --type clone --check-status -vv Logged into PS Series group 192.x.x.xx (earth39-grp) as username grpadmin (GroupAdmin Smart Copies Source: mysystem.equallogic.com : /mnt/ns-gl1 /mnt/ns-gl2 Clone: 18-May-2017 18:47:38.101719 ObjectId: d-ae90fe-d14693ed0-4b94835698ac308b Directory: /tmp/asm3/asm-le.equallogic.com/source-e-86ca5be4f2bf9ea-3660dd7d9ae03f4b/ File: 20170518-224738.101719-d-ae90fe-d14693ed0-4b94835698ac308b.bcd ns-gl1 --> ns-gl1-clone-2017:05:18-18:47:38.112 on earth39-grp ns-gl2 --> ns-gl2-clone-2017:05:18-18:47:38.371 on earth39-grp 1 Smart Copy found. Managing Soft-Deleted Smart Copy Clones Without Credentials For groups running PS Series firmware version 6.0 and higher, if you create a Smart Copy clone and delete it, the firmware places the deletion in a recovery bin. The deleted volume can be restored by the PS Series group or eventually, it will be purged. Depending on which action occurs, entering an asmcli list smart-copy --check-status command will either restore or permanently delete the Smart Copy. However, if you change credentials so that the volume is no longer accessible, ASMCLI cannot see the volume in the recovery bin, and entering list smart-copy --check-status will permanently delete the Smart Copy. This behavior is identical to the way that changing credentials can create unreachable Smart Copies. However, if you delete credentials so that there is no way to connect to the PS Series group at all, entering an asmcli list smartcopy --check-status command will not purge the Smart Copy backup documents. In that case, ASM/LE cannot clean up the Smart Copy backup documents. Smart Copy Operations for Synchronous Replication Volumes The asmcli command provides synchronous replication volumes a subset of the functions that are available from the Group Manager interface. NOTE: To configure synchronous replication volumes or to switch from the active volume (SyncActive) to the alternate volume (SyncAlternate), use the PS Series firmware array.
