Parameters

-force
(Optional) Specifies that the target VDisk is brought online. This parameter is required if the FlashCopy® mapping is in the stopped state.
fc_map_id | fc_map_name
(Required) Specifies the ID or name of the FlashCopy mapping to delete. Enter the ID or name last on the command line.

Description

The rmfcmap command deletes the specified mapping if the mapping is in the idle_or_copied or stopped state. If it is in the stopped state, the -force parameter is required. If the mapping is in any other state, you must stop the mapping before you can delete it.

Deleting a mapping only deletes the logical relationship between the two virtual disks; it does not affect the virtual disks themselves. However, if you force the deletion, the target virtual disk (which might contain inconsistent data) is brought back online.
