Cancel workflow for non-disruptive import
You can cancel an import session that is in any of the following states:
- Queued
- Scheduled
- For volume, Copy-in-Progress or, for CG, In-Progress
- Paused
- Ready-for-Cutover
- For CG, Import-Cutover-Incomplete
- For CG, Cancel-Required
- For CG, Cancel-Failed
- For CG, Failed
The cancel operation sets the state of the import session to CANCELLED and disables access to the destination volume or volume group. It also deletes the destination volume or volume group that is associated with the import session.
NOTE:After an import session is successfully cancelled, wait five minutes before retrying to import the same volume or consistency group. If you retry the import immediately after the successful cancel operation, the import may fail.
NOTE:A
Force Stop option is provided in the confirmation popup for Cancel if either a source system or a host is down. Selecting this option terminates the import session without rolling back access to the volumes on the source system. Manual intervention may be required on the source system or host, or both.
The following steps show the manual cancel workflow in PowerStore Manager:
- Select the import session to cancel.
- Select the Cancel import action to cancel the import session.
- Click
CANCEL THE IMPORT in the pop up screen. The following cancel processing occurs:
- The destination volume is disabled.
- The source volume is enabled.
- The state of the import session is set to
CANCELLED on the successful completion of the operation.
NOTE:When all the volumes in a volume group are cancelled successfully, the state of the import session is set to CANCELLED. However, since the status of the volume group depends on the final status of the member volumes, if one or more of the member volumes are in a state other than CANCELLED, the status of the volume group is set to Cancel_Failed. You must repeat the cancel operation again until it succeeds and the status for the volume group becomes CANCELLED.
- The destination volume is deleted.
NOTE:Import sessions are not deleted but can be deleted through the REST API.
