Stopping FlashCopy mapping

Introduction

Stopping a FlashCopy mapping causes it to enter the Stopping state. If any mappings depend on this mapping, this mapping remains in the Stopping state until data is copied from the target virtual disk (VDisk).

You can also select Split Stop action to break the dependency of the source VDisk on any FlashCopy mapping that has dependent target VDisks. This action stops the FlashCopy mapping immediately; however, the target VDisks remain dependent on the FlashCopy mappings that it was dependent on prior to the stop. You can only use the Split Stop action when progress of the copy operation for the FlashCopy mapping is 100% complete.

Actions

The following actions are available:

Stop

Click this button to stop the FlashCopy mapping.

Split Stop

Click this button to stop the FlashCopy mapping immediately. This action breaks the dependency on the source VDisk of any mappings that are also dependent on the target disk. You can only use the Split Stop action when progress of the copy operation for the FlashCopy mapping is 100% complete.

Forced Stop

Click this button to stop the FlashCopy mapping immediately.

Note: Use the Forced Stop option with caution because it causes any mappings that depend on this mapping to also be stopped.

Cancel

Click this button to exit the panel without stopping the FlashCopy consistency group.
