COMMAND
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 <parent_volume | parent_volumeset> [options]
<destination_volume | destination_volumeset>
■ createvvcopy –r [options] <destination_volume |
destination_volumeset>
■ createvvcopy –halt <destination_volume | destination_volumeset>
AUTHORITY
Super, Edit
OPTIONS
–p <parent_volume | parent_volumeset>
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
<destination_volume | destination_volumeset> 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.
