rmfcconsistgrp

Use the rmfcconsistgrp command to delete a FlashCopy consistency group.

Syntax

rmfcconsistgrp [ -force ] { fc_consist_group_id | fc_consist_group_name }

Parameters

-force
(Optional) Specifies that all of the mappings that are associated with a consistency group that you want to delete are removed from the group and changed to stand-alone mappings. This parameter is only required if the consistency group that you want to delete contains mappings.
Important: Using the force parameter might result in a loss of access. Use it only under the direction of IBM support personnel.
fc_consist_group_id | fc_consist_group_name
(Required) Specifies the ID or name of the consistency group that you want to delete.

Description

This command deletes the specified FlashCopy consistency group. If there are mappings that are members of the consistency group, the command fails unless you specify the -force parameter. When you specify the -force parameter, all of the mappings that are associated with the consistency group are removed from the group and changed to stand-alone mappings.

To delete a single mapping in the consistency group, you must use the rmfcmap command.

Note: Maps that are rc_controlled are not shown in the view when this command is specified.
