This section contains commands that are used to configure FlashCopy relationships and to display FlashCopy information.
The commitflash command completes a partially formed Global Mirror consistency group. It is used as part of the recovery from a disaster.
The resyncflash command creates a point-in-time copy of an existing FlashCopy pair that was established with the -record and -persist parameters. The resyncflash command only copies the parts of the volume that have changed since the last point in time copy.
The lsflash command generates a report that displays a list of FlashCopy relationships and the status information for each FlashCopy relationship in the list.
The mkflash command initiates a point-in-time copy from source volumes to target volumes.
The reverseflash command reverses the FlashCopy relationship.
The revertflash command restores the former Global Mirror consistency group from one that is currently forming. It is used as part of the recovery from a disaster.
The rmflash command removes a relationship between FlashCopy volume pairs.
The unfreezeflash command resets a FlashCopy consistency group that was previously established with the -freeze parameter when the mkflash or resyncflash commands were issued.
The setflashrevert command modifies a FlashCopy volume pair that is part of a Global Mirror relationship to revertible. The revertible feature allows data to be committed to the target to form a new consistency group, or restored back to the last consistency group.
