Complete this task to modify a logical control unit (LCU) using
the DS CLI.
You can perform the following modifications to an LCU using the
DS CLI commands:
Change the subsystem ID to ensure it retains its unique identity
Change the system behavior so that it emulates an LCU type that allows
your system to process DS CLI transactions
Change the behavior of consistency group creation
Change the system behavior for processing concurrent copy transactions
Perform the following steps to modify an LCU using DS CLI commands:
Issue the lslcu command to generate a report that lists
the status of the LCUs that are associated with the storage unit. Enter the lslcu command
at the dscli command prompt with the following parameters and variables:
dscli>lslcu -dev storage_unit_ID -l
Use the report to determine the LCU or LCUs that you want to modify.
The report contains details about the LCUs that you must use to issue the chlcu command
for modifications.
Issue the chlcu command to implement one of the following
types of modifications:
To maintain the unique identity that is associated with your
logical subsystem within your Copy Services domain, you can change your subsystem
ID (SSID). Enter the chlcu command at the dscli command prompt with
the following parameters and variables:
Note: The new SSID that you specify replaces the existing SSID value in the initial
target LCU ID.
To provide your system a format that allows you to process DS
CLI transactions. Enter the chlcu command at the dscli command prompt
with the following parameters and variables:
The target LCUs are changed to the LCU type that you designate
When you designate multiple LCUs, separate multiple IDs and multiple ID
ranges with a space. Separate your LCU range with a dash (-) between the first
and last number of the range.
