GroupStartCI
Command:
GroupStartCI SnapshotGroup
Description:
This command is used to begin the Complete Image process on a specified group of snapshot relationships. Perform the Complete Image process on a snapshot relationship to create a physical copy of the source volume data on the destination volume.
Arguments:
SnapshotGroup: A valid snapshot group name.
Return Value:
0: success.
-1: failure (see the Comments section below).
Error Codes:
DCSPIT_ERROR_PENDING: The process was started and has not yet completed.
DCSPIT_ERROR_DEVICE_BUSY: A virtual volume involved in this operation is not ready to accept this command. Reissue the command. (If the virtual volume is a DP mirror and you are on the read-only side of the DP mirror, you must re-issue the command on the storage server that contains the read-write side of the DP mirror.)
DCSPIT_ERROR_REQUEST_ABORTED: The Snapshot abort Complete Image CLI/API operation was issued, and the process was stopped.
Comments:
If you want to monitor the progress of the process, you can use the GroupGetStatus command to verify that the process is still active. To discover why the process may have aborted, use the GetLastErrors command.
If the Complete Image process is stopped, re-starting the process will start the data replication where it left off. Once this command is re-started, it returns immediately.
If you had a Complete Image, a complete physical copy of source volume data on the destination volumes, prior to performing the Image Update process on the snapshot relationships, and you want to re-establish the complete image, you must perform this function, once the Image Update process has completed.
The source and destination volumes can be active while the Complete Image process is performed.
