Viewing Synchronization Details

Remote Copy User’s Guide

InForm OS Version 2.3.1

To see a list of all tasks on a system that have been active within the last 24 hours, use the

showtask

command, as shown in the following example:

In this example, there are four

active

tasks currently in progress, one for each primary

volume undergoing initial synchronization after starting the Remote Copy volume group with

the

startrcopygroup

command.

The columns in the previous example are identified as follows:

Id

- The task ID for the displayed task.

Type

- The task type, which for Remote Copy synchronizations is

remote_copy_sync

.

Additional task types are described in the InForm OS Administrator’s Guide.

Name

- The name of the volume being synchronized.

NOTE: With asynchronous periodic mode volume groups, the

startrcopygroup

command starts synchronizations only the first time it is issued because

subsequent instances of the command do not initiate resynchronizations. With

synchronous mode volume groups, the

startrcopygroup

command prompts

resynchronization each time it is used.

NOTE: For asynchronous periodic synchronization tasks, instead of creating a new

task for each resynchronization, the task is kept active for as long as the group is

started. The task details are updated as resynchronizations occur.
