HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 Command Line Interface Reference

EXAMPLES
The following example illustrates how virtual volumes vv1 and vv2 can be promoted with the
differences from their base volume:
cli% promotegroupsv vv1 vv2
NOTES
• A promote to a parent of larger size will include zeroing the additional capacity of the parent
in order to correctly represent the data from the smaller virtual copy. Such zeroing activity will
proportionally increase the duration of the promote task.
• Issue the showvv command to verify that differences in the snapshot volume are promoted to
its target volume.
• Issue the showvv -d command to display the number of remaining blocks to be copied.
• Without the -online option, the RW virtual copy and the target of the promote must not be
exported. With the -online option the base (target) may be exported, but no snapshots in
the family tree may be exported.
• Only one promote operation is allowed at a time within a virtual volume family tree.
