You can use the command-line interface (CLI) to delete
a FlashCopy consistency
group.
The rmfcconsistgrp CLI command deletes an existing FlashCopy consistency group. The
-force parameter is required only when the consistency group that you want to
delete contains mappings.
Follow these
steps to delete an existing consistency group:
- To delete an existing consistency group that does not contain
mappings, issue the rmfcconsistgrp CLI command:
rmfcconsistgrp fc_map_id or fc_map_name
where fc_map_id
or fc_map_name is the ID or name of the consistency group
to delete.
- To delete an existing consistency group that contains mappings
that are members of the consistency group, issue the following command:
rmfcconsistgrp -force fc_map_id or fc_map_name
where
fc_map_id or fc_map_name is the ID or name of the mapping to delete.
Important: Using the -force parameter might result in
a loss of access. Use it only under the direction of your support center.
All
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.
The command does not return any output.
