Suspend synchronous mirroring

The suspend syncMirror primaries command suspends a synchronous mirroring operation.

Supported Arrays​

This command applies to an individual DE2000H, DE4000H, DE4000F, DE6000H, or DE6000F storage array.

Roles​

To execute this command on an storage array, you must have the Storage Admin role.

Syntax​

suspend syncMirror (primary [<var id="GUID-BC6FD2F5-6A1C-4CDF-B8C8-2AB3C03958AC__V1392803" className="keyword varname">primaryVolumeName</var>] 
primaries [<var id="GUID-BC6FD2F5-6A1C-4CDF-B8C8-2AB3C03958AC__V1392804" className="keyword varname">primaryVolumeName1</var> ... <var id="GUID-BC6FD2F5-6A1C-4CDF-B8C8-2AB3C03958AC__V1392805" className="keyword varname">primaryVolumeNameN</var>]) 
[writeConsistency=(TRUE | FALSE)]

Parameters​

ParameterDescription
primary

The name of the primary volume for which you want to suspend operation. Enclose the volume name in square brackets ([ ]). If the volume name has special characters or numbers, you must enclose the volume name in double quotation marks (" ") inside square brackets.

primaries

The names of several primary volumes for which you want to suspend operations. All of the volumes will have the same properties. Enter the names of the volumes using these rules:

  • Enclose all of the names in square brackets ([ ]).

  • Separate each of the names with a space.

If the volume names have special characters or numbers, enter the names using these rules:

  • Enclose all of the names in square brackets ([ ]).

  • Enclose each of the names in double quotation marks (" ").

  • Separate each of the names with a space.

writeConsistency This parameter defines whether the volumes identified in this command are in a write-consistency group or are separate. For the volumes in the same write-consistency group, set this parameter to TRUE . For the volumes that are separate, set this parameter to FALSE .

Notes​

If you set the writeConsistency parameter to TRUE , the volumes must be in a write-consistency group (or groups). This command suspends all write-consistency groups that contain the volumes. For example, if volumes A, B, and C are in a write-consistency group and they have remote counterparts A’, B’, and C’, the command:

    suspend syncMirror volume ["A"] writeConsistency=TRUE


suspends A-A’, B-B’, and C-C’. If you have a write-consistency group 1={A, B, C} and write-consistency group 2={D, E, F}, the command:

    suspend syncMirror volumes ["A" "D"] writeConsistency=TRUE


suspends both write-consistency groups.
