CLI EQUIVALENCE
createvvcopy –p <parvol> -s <destvol>
SMI-S METHOD
Copy can be done on an existing physical copy using the
TPD_StorageConfigurationService.ModifySynchronization() method with the
Operation parameter set to Start Copy (12).
The method execution, if successful, always returns 0x1000, which means that job has started.
See “StorageReplicationCapabilities” (page 62) for possible return values.
STATE TRANSITIONS
Table 51 (page 66) shows the values for SyncState and WhenSynced during various stages of
start physical copy.

HALT PHYSICAL COPY
CLI EQUIVALENCE
createvvcopy –halt
SMI-S METHOD
Copy can be halted using the
TPD_StorageConfigurationService.ModifySynchronization() method with the
Operation parameter set to Stop Copy(13).
This operation is synchronous and does not require a job. The job that is produced as a side-effect
of the physical copy can also be terminated by TPD_ConcreteJob.RequestStateChange.
STATE TRANSITIONS
Table 52 (page 66) shows the values for SyncState and WhenSynced during various stages of
halting a physical copy.

the halt has failed and the copy was
allowed to finish.)
