symsnap
Hi!
I try to create a snap (VDEV) with the symsnap command but get this error message:
# symsnap -g xplucod2_u01 create -v BCV001 vdev ld VDEV001
Execute 'Create' operation for device 'BCV001'
in device group 'xplucod2_u01' (y/ ) ? y
'Create' operation execution is in progress for device 'BCV001'
paired with target device 'VDEV001' in
device group 'xplucod2_u01'. Please wait...
SELECTING the list of Source devices in the group:
Device: 085C [NOT SELECTED - SYMAPI_C_BCV_IS_BCV_ATTACHED]
The BCV device cannot be manipulated because it is BCV attached to a STD device
The devicegroup looks like this:
$ symld -g xplucod2_u01 list
Device Group (DG) Name: xplucod2_u01
DG's Type : REGULAR
DG's Symmetrix ID : 000287751114
BCV Devices associated with this dg:
BCV Device Standard Device Status
------------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------
Inv. Inv.
Logical Sym RDF Att. Tracks Logical Sym Tracks BCV <=> STD
------------------------------------ --------------------------- ------------
BCV001 085C (M) - 0 0850 0 Split
Total -------- --------
MB(s) 0.0 0.0
Legend for BCV devices:
(+): BCV is paired with a member STD device.
(-): BCV is paired with a non-member STD device.
Symmetrix Virtual Devices associated with this dg:
VDEV Device Source Device Status
----------------------------------- ---------------------------- -------------
Logical Sym Att. Sts Logical Sym SRC <=> VDEV
----------------------------------- ---------------------------- -------------
VDEV001 0696 (M) NR N/A N/A NotCreated
Anyone who knows what's wrong?
If I run
# symsnap -g xplucod2_u01 create -v DEV001 vdev ld VDEV001
it works properly but I don't want the snap on the STD-device.
How can I create it on the the BCV ?
Best regards

-----------------------
Devices were previously used with symmir command under Emulation Mode - so although BCV status is reporting as split on 'symmir query', its actually in a Clone activated state in the background.
The error message is slightly misleading - we have not used 'symmir attach' here.
You can check if emulation mode is enabled on a device with 'symdev show xxx' and look at the following field:
BCV State Flags : (AllReady)(Emulation)
To terminate this session, use 'symmir -g group cancel', following that, you should be able to proceed with creation of new session.
-----------------------
BCV State Flags is "Emulation"
and I tried "symmir cancel"...
# symmir -g xplucod2_u01 cancel
Execute 'Cancel' operation for device group
'xplucod2_u01' (y/ ) ? y
'Cancel' operation execution is in progress for
device group 'xplucod2_u01'. Please wait...
Cannot perform the operation because no devices have been added to the group

(I forgot to run the "symld moveall"-commande before the cancel command....)
