"symmir verify -synched" will verifies that the BCV pair(s) are in the Synchronized state.

Does "symclone verify -copied" will verify the BCV pairs are in synchronized state?

Yes. Both –copied and –synced are basically making sure that data has copied from the source to target. But with Clone if you are using create and activate instead of establish, then you check for copied state after the activate.

Please read the man pages or symclone –help for more info.

You don't have to wait for "sync" to be complete to activate.

True BCVs can be in sync.  Clone targets if there are writes to the source device may never be completely copied.  The "synced" status shows complete when the copy process has completed one pass.

I think we are talking about different things. You are talking about symclone create -precopy. In that case, the devices may never be completely copied if there is IO.

But I was talking about verifying the copy has completed after activate. In that case, the copy can complete. Same if they are using establish which will do the create and activate in a single operation

So we should probably ask: Do you plan on using establish? or create then activate? If it's the latter, are you using precopy with create?

Yes, I was assuming we were talking about pre-copy.
