Use this command and parameters
recreate a previously disabled FlashCopy logical drive
where: ["logicalDriveLabel"] = the user label of the disabled FlashCopy logical drive, enclosed in square braces.
Important:If the logical drive label contains more than one word, white space, or any special character(s), then enclose the label in double quotes. The square braces are required.
Additional Parameters You Can Use When Recreating a FlashCopy Logical Drive
userLabel = any string up to 30 characters. If the label contains more than one word (a space) then enclose the string in double quotes.
warningThresholdPercent = integer value of the repository full percentage threshold before you receive a warning.
repositoryFullPolicy = failBaseWrites or failFlashCopy. This value specifies the behavior of the controller when the repository logical drive fills up.
Note: You can specify or change the WarningThresholdPercent and repositoryFullPolicy values later using the set command.
FlashCopy Logical Drive Chevelle-S1 is recreated as a new point-in-time image of the previously associated base logical drive.
Any writes to the repository logical drive previously associated with FlashCopy Logical Drive Chevelle-S1 are resumed.
You have changed the repository full percentage threshold to 75%. When the FlashCopy repository logical drive fills to this level, you'll receive a warning.
You have changed the repository full policy to fail I/O to the base logical drive when the FlashCopy repository logical drive fills up.
where: ["logicalDriveLabel"] = the user label of the current valid FlashCopy logical drive, enclosed in square braces.
