Starting and stopping Metro Mirror or Global Mirror consistency-group copy processes using the CLI

You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to start and stop Metro Mirror or Global Mirror consistency-group copy processes.

To start and stop Metro Mirror or Global Mirror consistency-group copy processes, perform these steps:

  1. To start a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror consistency-group copy process, set the direction of copy if it is undefined and optionally mark the secondary VDisks of the consistency group as clean. Run the svctask startrcconsistgrp command. For example, enter:
    svctask startrcconsistgrp rc_consist_group_id

    Where rc_consist_group_id is the ID of the consistency group to start processing.

  2. To stop the copy process for a Metro Mirror or Global Mirror consistency group, run the svctask stoprcconsistgrp command.

    For example, enter:

    svctask stoprcconsistgrp rc_consist_group_id 

    Where rc_consist_group_id is the ID of the consistency group that you want to stop processing.

    If the group is in a consistent state, you can also use this command to enable write access to the secondary virtual disks (VDisks) in the group.
