commitflash

Parameters

-dev storage_image_ID

(Optional) The storage image ID consists of the manufacturer name, machine type, and serial number. The storage image ID is required if you do not specify a fully qualified ID for all source volumes, do not set the devid variable in your profile or through the setenv command, and the HMC is aware of more than one storage image. Using the -dev parameter will temporarily override any defined value for devid for the current command.

-seqnum flash_sequence_number

(Optional) When a FlashCopy sequence number is specified, the commit operation is performed only on those relationships that are associated with the specified number.

This parameter is not supported for machine type 2105.

Example: 0010

source_volume_ID ... | -

(Required) The source volumes for which FlashCopy relationships are to be committed. The chosen FlashCopy pair is the one established or modified with the -record parameter. This parameter accepts fully qualified volume IDs, which includes storage image IDs, or a shortened version without storage image IDs if either the -dev parameter is specified or you specify a value for the devid variable in your profile file. You must separate multiple source volume IDs with spaces.

The volume ID is a 32-bit number that can be represented as 4 hexadecimal digits in the form of XYZZ where:

X

The address group, 0-F.

XY

The logical subsystem number, 00 - FE.

ZZ

The volume number, 00 - FF.

The ellipsis (...) indicates that, optionally, you can specify multiple values. If you use the dash (-), the specified value is read from standard input. You cannot use the dash (-) while you are in the DS CLI interactive command mode.

Example of a fully qualified volume ID: IBM.2107-75FA120/0001

Example of a shortened version: 0001

Example of multiple IDs: 0001 0003 0008
