When to use Clone create copy ,recreate -precopy

HI,

Since you have already terminated the CLONE so you cant do recreate it. You can do create with precopy option.

-precopy does the backgroup copy once you creates the session and target can be immediately available when you activate it and -copy option is the default option.

regards,

Saurabh

1. Create

Sets target device Not ready

Sets Protection Bits on Source and Target

Link session between SRC and TGT

2. Activate

Sets Clone Ready to host

Point in time copy’ time is Activate time (not Create time)

Begin copying data from SRC to TGT

3. Establish

Performs both the Create and Activate functions

Differential establish where previous pairing existed

4. Split

Splits a device pairing which is in the restored state

Supported at 5x71 and above

5. Restore

Restores date either to another volume or back to original volume

Incremental Restore to original source or full restore to new device

6. Recreate

Allows incremental copy of changed tracks on target to source

Target must initially be a full copy of the source (-copy or –precopy options specified)

7. Terminate

Terminates all copy sessions and deletes pairing

I agree with Saurabh, as you are in terminated status. recreate is not availiable.

precopy option start transfering data when create the clone session

copy option start transfering data when activate the clone session.

thx
