These panel descriptions apply to SAN Volume Controller Console panels
that relate to managing FlashCopy® consistency
groups.
Creating FlashCopy consistency groups
You can create
a FlashCopy consistency group
from the Creating FlashCopy Consistency Groups
panel in SAN Volume Controller Console.
Deleting FlashCopy consistency groups
You can delete
a FlashCopy consistency group using the Deleting FlashCopy Consistency
Groups panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console.
You can only delete a consistency group that has mappings by forcing
the deletion.
Filtering FlashCopy consistency groups
You
can specify filter criteria from the Filtering FlashCopy Consistency
Groups panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console.

groups that
are displayed on the panel.
Modifying FlashCopy consistency groups You
can change the attributes for a FlashCopy consistency
group on the Modifying FlashCopy consistency groups
panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console.
Modifying FlashCopy consistency group–Confirmation
Use the Modifying FlashCopy Consistency Group–Confirmation
panel in the SAN Volume Controller Console to
accept the changes made to the select FlashCopy consistency group.
Preparing a FlashCopy consistency group–Restore
Use the Preparing a FlashCopy Consistency Group–Restore in
the SAN Volume Controller Console to
prepare all the FlashCopy mappings
within a consistency group. This panel indicates that the target virtual
disks (VDisks) of the mappings in this group are the source VDisks
of some other active FlashCopy mappings.
When the FlashCopy consistency group is being prepared with restore
option, the prepare operation can fail if dependencies exist between
the any of the FlashCopy mapping in the consistency group and other
FlashCopy mappings on the cluster that have also been prepared or
started with the restore option. To
determine if dependencies exist between the selected FlashCopy mappings
and other mappings, use the Viewing FlashCopy Mappings panel to determine
whether other FlashCopy mappings are linked to the selected mapping
through shared source or target VDisks. If the restore option is
set on any of these linked mappings, then you cannot prepare the selected
FlashCopy mapping with the restore option.
