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 on
page 18.4) command or by issuing a new instance of the
promotesv command. This option
cannot be used in conjunction with any other option.
