SUSPENDMIRRVOL
The SUSPENDMIRRVOL command is used when one partner of a mirrored pair is
not mounted and access to the mounted volume is desired anyway. This
command tells the system to proceed without mirroring on the mounted
volume.
CAUTION Care must be taken when using SUSPENDMIRRVOL to ensure that the
PENDING disk is good. This command forces the system to mount
and use this drive. Because of drive errors, it may not have
been possible to mark the drive as bad. The drive could contain
data that has not been updated. This could lead to application
errors and force a reload of the volume set.
Task
Suspends mirroring on a volume whose partner is in the PENDING state.
Syntax
SUSPENDMIRRVOL [VNAME=] sname:vname
[LDEV=] ldev
Parameters
sname The name assigned to the mirrored volume set.

vname The name assigned to the volume. Required.
ldev One number from 1 to 999 that specifies the logical
device that is to be suspended. It must identify
one unique device configured into the device class
DISC. Required.
Example
This example shows how to use the SUSPENDMIRRVOL command.
