HP 3PAR OS 3.1.3 Command Line Interface Reference

removercopygroup
DESCRIPTION
The removercopygroup command removes a remote-copy volume group or multiple remote-copy
groups that match a given pattern.
SYNTAX
removercopygroup [options] {<group_name> ... | <pattern> ...}
AUTHORITY
• Super, Edit
• Any role granted the rcopygroup_remove right.
OPTIONS
-f
Specifies that the command is forced. If this option is not used, the command requires confirmation
before proceeding with its operation. If the Remote Copy group is not empty and -removevv is
used, the command will ask for a confirmation even if the -f option is used.
-removevv
Remove remote sides' volumes.
-keepsnap
Specifies that the local volume's resync snapshot should be retained. The retained snapshot will
reflect the state of the secondary volume and may be used as the starting snapshot should the
volume be readmitted to a remote-copy group. The snapshot will begin with “sv.rcpy”.
-pat
Specifies that specified patterns are treated as glob-style patterns and that all remote-copy groups
matching the specified pattern will be removed. By default, confirmation is required to proceed
with the command unless the -f option is specified. This option must be used if the <pattern>
specifier is used.
SPECIFIERS
<group_name>
The name of the group to be removed.
<pattern>
Specifies a glob-style pattern. This specifier can be repeated to remove multiple groups. If the
<pattern> specifier is not used, the <group_name> specifier must be used.
CAUTION: Be sure that the correct group to be removed has been selected before executing this
command.
RESTRICTIONS
• This command requires the HP 3PAR Remote Copy Software license. Contact local service
provider for more information.
• This is not allowed if remote copy is in progress; the system will generate an error. The group
must be stopped using the stoprcopygroup command.
• You must have access to the domain of the specified group (<group_name>) to run this
command.
