Users Guide

The following part shows the --broken option, which searches for broken Smart Copies. Because this requires ASMCLI to access the
group, you are prompted for a password,
# asmcli list smart-copy --broken
Password for user user-voladmin on 192.0.2.20: ******
0 Smart Copies found.
If you delete the access credentials for a group, the Smart Copy creation operation will fail. In the last part of this example, group access
records are deleted for Group3, and the subsequent attempt to create a Smart Copy fails.
# asmcli delete group-access --name Group3 --user-name
grpadmin
Successfully deleted credentials for user "grpadmin" in group "Group3"
in file /etc/equallogic/asm-group-access.
# asmcli list group-access

Example 7: Creating a Smart Copy Using Snapshot Borrowing
When snapshot borrowing is enabled and creating a Smart Copy snapshot exceeds the available snapshot reserve space, the asmcli
command attempts to borrow free space. A message displays, either informing you that snapshot borrowing is being used or warning you
that borrowed space has crossed the threshold limits.
# asmcli create smart-copy --source /user1
Warning: Volume myvol-user1 on group9 (192.x.x.xy) is borrowing snapshot space
Suggestion: Please increase snapshot reserve or delete unnecessary snapshots.
For scheduled operations, consider using "keep count" (see "asmcli help schedule").
The mount point has been frozen.
Created snapshot myvol-user1-2017-08-16-09:44:33.462.1 on group9
The mount point has been thawed.
Successfully created a Smart Copy from 1 target.
Example 8: Creating a Smart Copy That Exceeds Threshold Limits
If creating a Smart Copy snapshot triggers snapshot borrowing that crosses the free pool space threshold and then another snapshot is
created, older snapshots might be deleted to recover space.
# asmcli create smart-copy --source /user1
Warning: Volume myvol-user1 on windev19grp (192.x.x.xy) is borrowing snapshot space
Warning: Free space for snapshot borrowing on group group9 (192.x.x.xy)
is running low (99.4% of free space is in use.)
Additional snapshots may trigger the snapshot space recovery policy for this volume.
