Dell PowerVault MD 34XX/38XX Series Storage Arrays CLI Guide

The following syntax is the general form of the command:

recopy virtualDiskCopy target [targetName] [source
                                    [sourceName] copyPriority=(highest | high | medium
                                    | low | lowest) targetReadOnlyEnabled=(TRUE | FALSE)]
                                 

Refer to steps 1 through 4 in the preceding section, Preparing Host Servers To Recopy A Virtual Disk. The following example shows a command that changes the copy priority:

client>smcli 123.45.67.89 -c "recopy
                                    virtualDiskCopy target [\"Obi_1\"] copyPriority=highest;"
                                 

The command in this example copies data from the source virtual disk associated with the target virtual disk Obi_1 to the target virtual disk again. The copy priority is set to the highest value to complete the virtual disk copy as quickly as possible. The underlying consideration for using this command is that you have already created the virtual disk copy pair. When you create a virtual disk copy pair, you automatically created one virtual disk copy. Using this command, you are copying the data from the source virtual disk to the target virtual disk. You are making this copy because the data on the source virtual disk changed since the previous copy was made.

Refer to steps 1 through 4 in the preceding section, Preparing Host Servers To Recopy A Virtual Disk. The following example is the script file version of the command:

recopy virtualDiskCopy target ["Obi_1"]
                                    copyPriority=highest;
