You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to delete
a FlashCopy® consistency
group.
Before you begin
The rmfcconsistgrp CLI command deletes an existing FlashCopy consistency group. The
-force parameter is required only when the consistency group that you want to
delete contains mappings.
About this task
Follow these
steps to delete an existing consistency group:
Procedure
- To delete an existing consistency group that does not contain
mappings, issue the rmfcconsistgrp CLI command:
rmfcconsistgrp fc_consist_group_id or fc_consist_group_name
where fc_consist_group_id or fc_consist_group_name is the ID or name of the
consistency group to delete.
- To delete an existing consistency group that contains mappings
that are members of the consistency group, issue the following command:
rmfcconsistgrp -force fc_consist_group_id or fc_consist_group_name
where
fc_consist_group_id or fc_consist_group_name is the ID or name of the
consistency group to delete.
Important: Using the -force parameter
might result in a loss of access. Use it only under the direction of your support center.
All
the mappings that are associated with the consistency group are removed
from the group and changed to stand-alone mappings. To delete a single
mapping in the consistency group, you must use the rmfcmap command.
Results
The command does not return any output.
