commitremoteflash

The commitremoteflash command sends data to a target volume to form a consistency between the remote source and target FlashCopy pair.

Parameters

Notes:

Establish the pair by issuing either the mkflash or mkremoteflash command with the -record and -persist parameters.
Issue either the setflashrevertible or setremoteflashrevertible command against the pair.

Only after you have taken these two steps can you issue the commitremoteflash command.

-dev storage_image_ID: (Optional) Specifies the storage image ID, which includes manufacturer, type, and serial number. This parameter is required if you do not specify a fully qualified ID for all the source volumes and you do not specify a value for the devid variable in your profile file.; Example: IBM.1750-68FA120
-conduit LSS_ID: (Required) Specifies the source logical subsystem (LSS) of an existing remote mirror and copy relationship that is to be used as a means for communicating with the remote storage image. The source volume IDs that are specified in the SourceVolumeID parameter must serve as secondary volumes in a remote mirror and copy relationship in which one of the conduit LSS volumes serves as a primary volume.; When this parameter is used, you must specify a fully qualified LSS ID. The fully qualified LSS ID format is storage_image_ID/XX, where XX is a hexadecimal number in the range 00 - 1F (1750 only).; Example: IBM.1750-68FA120/00
-seqnum flash_sequence_number: (Optional) Specifies that the commit operation is performed only on those source volumes that are associated with the specified sequence number.; This parameter is not supported for machine type 2105.; Example: 0010
-srcss SS_ID: (Optional) Specifies the subsystem ID of the source logical subsystem at the remote site. When this parameter is used, all source volumes must be within the same logical subsystem.; This parameter is required only for IBM System Storage™ Enterprise Storage Server versions 2.4.0 and 2.4.1.; Example: FF10
SourceVolumeID . . . | -: (Required) Commits remote FlashCopy relationships for the source volumes with the specified IDs. The chosen pair is the one with the enabled -record parameter. You must separate multiple source volume IDs with spaces.; This parameter accepts fully qualified volume IDs, which includes the storage image ID, or a shortened version without the storage image ID if either the -dev parameter is specified, or you can specify a value for the devid variable in your profile file.; The volume ID is a 32 bit number that can be represented as 4 hexadecimal digits in the form of XYZZ where X is the address group (0 - 1), XY together is the logical subsystem number 00 - 1E (for 1750) , and ZZ is the volume number (00 - FF).; If you specify the dash (-), this parameter information is automatically supplied.; Example of a fully qualified volume ID: IBM.1750-68FA120/0001; Example of a shortened version: 0001; Example of IDs: 0001 0003 0008
