stopfcconsistgrp

The stopfcconsistgrp command stops all processing that is associated with a FlashCopy® consistency group that is in one of the following processing states: prepared, copying, stopping, or suspended.

Syntax

Parameters

-force: (Optional) Specifies that all processing that is associated with the mappings of the designated consistency group be stopped immediately.
Note: When you use this parameter, all FlashCopy mappings that depend on the mappings in this group (as listed by the lsfcmapdependentmaps command) are also stopped.
-split: (Optional) Breaks the dependency on the source VDisks of any mappings that are also dependent on the target VDisk. This parameter can only be specified when stopping a consistency group where all maps in the group have progress of 100 as shown by the svcinfo lsfcmap command.
fc_consist_group_id | fc_consist_group_name: (Required) Specifies the name or ID of the consistency group that you want to stop.

Description

This command stops a group of mappings in a consistency group. If the copy process is stopped, the target disks become unusable unless they already contain complete images of the source. Disks that contain complete images of the source have a progress of 100, as indicated in the lsfcmap command output. The target VDisk is reported as offline if it does not contain a complete image. Before you can access this VDisk, the group of mappings must be prepared and restarted.

If the consistency group is in the idle_or_copied state, then the stopfcconsistgrp command has no effect and the consistency group stays in the idle_or_copied state.

Note: Prior to SVC 4.2.0, the stopfcconsistgrp command always caused the consistency group to go to the stopped state, taking the target VDisks offline.

The split option can be used when all of the maps in the group have progress of 100. It removes the dependency of any other maps on the source VDisks. It might be used prior to starting another FlashCopy consistency group whose target disks are the source disks of the mappings being stopped. Once the consistency group has been stopped with the split option, the other consistency group could then be started without the restore option.
