3PAR InForm OS CLI Administrator’s Manual InForm OS Version 2.2.4
13.3.2 move_regions
The move_regions task type is used to track operations that move data between logical disks
by issuing the
movereg command. This is a low-level command not commonly issued by users.
For more information on the
movereg command, see the InForm OS Command Line Interface
Reference.
For
move_regions tasks, there is only one phase. The number of steps in that phase is equal
to the number of regions being moved.
13.3.3 promote_sv
The promote_sv task type is used to track virtual copy snapshot promote operations.
Promoting a virtual copy snapshot copies the differences of the virtual copy back to its base
volume. You can promote a virtual copy snapshot using the
promotesv command (see the
8.3.2 Promoting a Virtual Copy on page 8.3 for details). Use of these features requires a 3PAR
Virtual Copy license. In addition, virtual copy snapshots may be automatically promoted by
systems using 3PAR Remote Copy, for example when issuing the
setrcopytarget reverse
or setrcopygroup target commands on a primary storage system or a system with
primary groups in order to reverse targets. Use of Remote Copy requires a 3PAR Remote Copy
license.
For
promote_sv tasks, there is only one phase. The number of steps in that phase is equal to
the number of Gigabytes being copied.

The remote_copy_sync task type is used to track remote copy volume synchronizations on
systems using 3PAR Remote Copy. 3PAR Remote Copy is an optional volume mirroring solution
that can be used for disaster recovery and backup. This product requires an additional 3PAR
Remote Copy license. The system creates a separate task for each primary volume undergoing
synchronization.
You can initiate Remote Copy volume synchronizations manually by issuing one of several
commands, or can be performed automatically by the system. For instance, you can manually
synchronize remote copy volume groups using the
syncrcopy command. Restarting remote
NOTE: While you can promote virtual copies using the InForm Management
Console, to see information about tasks, including the task IDs for virtual copy
snapshot promotes, and to access task management features, you must use the
InForm CLI.
