FlashCopy commands

Use the FlashCopy® commands to work with FlashCopy system methods and functions.

chfcconsistgrp
Use the chfcconsistgrp command to change the name of a consistency group or mark the group for auto-deletion. You can also change the ownership group.
chfcmap
Use the chfcmap command to modify attributes of an existing mapping.
lsfcconsistgrp
Use the lsfcconsistgrp command to display a concise list or a detailed view of FlashCopy consistency groups that are visible to the system. This information is useful for tracking FlashCopy consistency groups.
lsfcmap
Use the lsfcmap command to generate a list that contains concise information about all of the FlashCopy mappings that are visible to the system, or detailed information for a single FlashCopy mapping.
lsfcmapcandidate
Use the lsfcmapcandidate command to list all of the volumes that are associated with fewer than 256 FlashCopy mappings.
lsfcmapprogress
Use the lsfcmapprogress command to display the progress of the background copy of a FlashCopy mapping. This information is displayed as a percentage-completed value.
lsfcmapdependentmaps
Use the lsfcmapdependentmaps command to display the FlashCopy mappings that depend on the user specified mapping.
lsrmvdiskdependentmaps
Use the lsrmvdiskdependentmaps command to display all FlashCopy mappings that must be stopped for the specified volume to be deleted.
mkfcconsistgrp
Use the mkfcconsistgrp command to create a new FlashCopy consistency group and identification name.
mkfcmap
Use the mkfcmap command to create a new FlashCopy mapping, which maps a source volume to a target volume for subsequent copying.
prestartfcconsistgrp
Use the prestartfcconsistgrp command to prepare a consistency group (a group of FlashCopy mappings) so that the consistency group can be started. This command flushes the cache of any data that is destined for the source volume and forces the cache into the write-through mode until the consistency group is started.
prestartfcmap
Use the prestartfcmap command to prepare a FlashCopy mapping so that it can be started. This command flushes the cache of any data that is destined for the source volume and forces the cache into the write-through mode until the mapping is started.
rmfcconsistgrp
Use the rmfcconsistgrp command to delete a FlashCopy consistency group.
rmfcmap
Use the rmfcmap command to delete an existing mapping.
startfcconsistgrp
Use the startfcconsistgrp command to start a FlashCopy consistency group of mappings. This command makes a point-in-time copy of the source volumes at the moment that the command is started.
startfcmap
Use the startfcmap command to start a FlashCopy mapping. This command makes a point-in-time copy of the source volume at the moment that the command is started.
stopfcconsistgrp
Use the stopfcconsistgrp command to stop all processing that is associated with a FlashCopy consistency group that is in one of the following processing states: prepared, copying, stopping,or suspended.
