Verify TimeFinder clone copy session pair states

Description

Use the symclone verify command to verify that one or all clone pair(s) in a device group, composite group, or device file are in a particular state. The command can be used in scripts to verify that the clone device pair(s) are in a particular state prior to executing subsequent Solutions Enabler commands. If no device state qualifiers are specified, the default for the symclone verify, is to check for the Copied state.

Syntax

To verify target devices in a device group, composite group, or device file, use the following syntax: 

symclone -g DgName verify
symclone -cg CgName verify
symclone -f[ile] FileName verify

Options

NOTE Add the -concurrent option with each of the following options to verify a concurrent clone pair.
-copied
Verifies that the copy sessions are in the Copied state (default).
-copyinprog
Verifies that the copy sessions are in the CopyInProgress state.
-created
Verifies that the copy sessions are in the Created state.
-recreated
Verifies that the copy sessions are in the Recreated state.
-restored
Verifies that the copy sessions are in the Restored state.
-split
Verifies that the copy sessions are in the Split state.

Examples

NOTE For a multi-clone or concurrent clone device group, specifying the clone on the command line ensures that the verify operation checks the status of the clone. Otherwise, the verify operation checks the status of the standard device, which may no longer be established with the clone that you want to verify.

To return the status of standard device DEV001 with its last paired clone, enter: 

symclone -g ProdBgrp verify DEV001

To return the status of a specific clone pair (DEV001 with DEV005), enter: 

symclone -g ProdBgrp verify DEV001 sym ld DEV005
To return the status every 30 seconds until all clone pairs in the device group (ProdBgrp) or composite group (MyConGrp) are in the Copied state, enter:
NOTE If no device state qualifier is specified the command checks for the Copied state. 
symclone -g ProdBgrp -i 30 verify
symclone -cg MyConGrp -i 30 verify

Possible return codes at 30-second intervals are zero (code symbol CLI_C_SUCCESS) if the verify criteria is met, or one of the return codes if none or not all of the devices meet the verify criteria. Refer to Return codes for TimeFinder clone copy verify session queryfor return codes.
