Controlling HSC Assisted Copy and Minimerge
Operations
This
section describes how to control assisted copy and minimerge operations
on an HSC controller. It is not possible to control these operations
on an HSJ controller.
To disable both the merge and copy performance assists on
the HSC controller, follow these steps on each HSC controller for
which you want to disable the assists:
Press Ctrl/C
to get to the HSC prompt.
When the HSC> prompt appears on the terminal
screen, enter the following commands:
HSC> RUN SETSHO SETSHO> SET SERVER DISK/NOHOST_BASED_SHADOWING SETSHO-I Your settings require an IMMEDIATE reboot on exit. SETSHO> EXIT SETSHO-Q Rebooting HSC. Press RETURN to continue, CTRL/Y to abort:
After you issue these commands, the HSC controller automatically
reboots:
INIPIO-I Booting...
To reenable the assists, follow the same procedure on your
HSC controller, but use the /HOST_BASED_SHADOWING qualifier on the
SET SERVER DISK command.
Use the HSC command SHOW ALL to see whether the assists are
enabled or disabled. The following example shows a portion of the
SHOW ALL display that indicates the shadowing assists status:
