ShadowImage copy group

When you right click a copy group ID in the copy group dashboard of the Dashboard tab and then select Make from the copy group action menu, a dialog box appears for you to enter YKMAKE command options (the dialog box differs depending on the copy type). When you click the OK button, YKMAKE is executed on the copy group that was right clicked. Examples of dialog boxes and the items displayed are shown below.

Item

Description

Pair state goto

Specify the final copy pair status after the copy pair operation terminates normally. If you specify a status other than N/A, the copy group will be monitored until all the copy pairs in the copy group change to this status or until one of the copy pairs changes to abnormal status.

Pair selection

Specify SELECT parameter of YKMAKE command i.e. how to select a copy pair to be manipulated.

  • ALL: Selects all copy pairs as targets.

  • COND: Selects target copy pairs based on the volume status of the copy pair.

Overwrite online target volume

When the S-VOL is online, determine whether to create a copy pair.

  • NO: Does not create the copy pair if the S-VOL is online.

  • YES: Creates the copy pair even if the S-VOL is online.

Copy direction

Specify the copy direction.

  • FORWARD: Copies the contents of the Primary site to the Secondary site.

Initial copy

Specify whether to copy or not.

  • Full copy: Makes a copy pair by full copy.

  • No copy: Makes a copy pair without copying the volume.

Copy pace

Specify the copy pace when creating a copy pair.

  • (Copy group definition value): Applies the InitPace attribute value of the copy group definition file.

  • SLOW: Slows the speed of the copy operation so that the effect of the copy operation on the I/O performance of the host is minimal.

  • NORMAL: The speed of the copy operation improves. However, when update I/O load on P-VOL is high, this might affect the I/O performance of the host.

  • FAST: Specifying FAST speeds up the copy operation so that it is faster than NORMAL. However, specifying FAST adversely affects the I/O performance of the host. As this might adversely affect business operations, we recommend that you specify FAST when no business operations are being performed.

Universal Replicator copy group

Item

Description

Pair state goto

Specify the final copy pair status after the copy pair operation terminates normally. The copy group will be monitored until all the copy pairs in the copy group change to this status or until one of the copy pairs changes to abnormal status.

Initial copy

Specify whether to copy or not.

  • Full copy: Makes a copy pair by full copy.

  • No copy: Makes a copy pair without copying the volume.

  • delta resync relation make: Makes a delta resync pair.

Dispersed across JNLGs

Specify whether to optimize the order of Universal Replicator copy pair operations so that the journal group to which the volume belongs is dispersed. This cannot be selected from the dialog box displayed from the pair action menu.

  • LINEAR: Determines the order of Universal Replicator copy pair operations based on the order of definitions in the copy group definition file.

  • DISPERSED: Determines the order of Universal Replicator copy pair operations so that the journal group to which the volume belongs is dispersed.
