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. Required.
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.

Use the DSTAT command to find out which volumes are mounted. LDEV 32 mounted in the PENDING state because its partner did not mount.

   :DSTAT



   LDEV-TYPE  STATUS      VOLUME  (VOLUME SET - GEN) 

   _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ 

   30- 079370   MASTER-MD   MEMBER1 (PROD_SET-0)

   31- 079370   MASTER-MD   MEMBER1 (PROD_SET-0)

   32- 079370  *PENDING-MD  MEMBER2 (PROD_SET-0)

Use the VOLUTIL SUSPENDMIRRVOL command to access MEMBER2 without mirroring.
NOTE: The SUSPENDMIRRVOL command can only be issued on a disk in the PENDING state.
