Re-create FlashCopy

This command starts a fresh copy-on-write operation by using an existing flashcopy logical drive.

Syntax

recreate flashcopy (logicalDrive [logicalDriveName] | logicalDrives [logicalDriveName1 ... logicalDriveNameN]) [userLabel=”flashcopyLogicalDriveName” warningThresholdPercent=percentValue repositoryFullPolicy (failBaseWrites | failFlashCopy)]

Parameters
Parameter Description
logicalDrive or logicalDrives The name of the specific logical drive for which you want to start a fresh copy-on-write operation. You can enter more than one logical drive name. Enclose the logical drive name in square brackets ([ ]). If the logical drive name has special characters, you must also enclose the logical drive name in double quotation marks (“ ”).
userLabel The name of the flashcopy logical drive. Enclose the flashcopy logical drive name in double quotation marks (“ ”). If you enter more than one flashcopy logical drive name, this command fails.
warningThresholdPercent The percentage of repository capacity at which you receive a warning that the flashcopy repository logical drive is nearing full. Use integer values. For example, a value of 70 means 70 percent. The default value is 50.
repositoryFullPolicy The type of processing that you want to continue if the flashcopy repository logical drive is full. You can choose to fail writes to the base logical drive (failBaseWrites) or fail writes to the flashcopy logical drive (failFlashCopy). The default value is failFlashCopy.
Notes

You can use any combination of alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names. Names can have a maximum of 30 characters.

If you do not specify a value for the warningThresholdPercent parameter or the repositoryFullPolicy parameter, the previously set value is used.
