CLI Storage-Management Guide 15-25
Enabling the Shadow-Copy Rule
The final step in configuring the shadow-copy rule is to enable it. By default, the rule
is disabled and ignored by policy software. Use the
enable command to enable the
rule:
enable
For example, the following command sequence enables the rule, “DRrule:”
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace wwmed
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[wwmed])# volume /acct
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[wwmed~/acct])# shadow-copy-rule DRrule
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-shdwcp[wwmed~/acct~DRrule])# enable
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-shdwcp[wwmed~/acct~DRrule])# ...
Disabling the Rule
Disabling the rule stops all file replication. Use no enable from gbl-ns-vol-shdwcp
mode to disable a shadow-copy rule:
no enable
For example, the following command sequence disables the “buHome” rule:
bstnA6k(gbl)# namespace archives
bstnA6k(gbl-ns[archives])# volume /home
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol[archives~/home])# shadow-copy-rule buHome
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-shdwcp[archives~/home~buHome])# no enable
bstnA6k(gbl-ns-vol-shdwcp[archives~/home~buHome])# ...
Showing Shadow-Copy Status
Use the show shadow command to view the high-level status of the latest (or current)
shadow-copy run:
show shadow
