You can permanently break the link between a snapshot and its original volume so that the snapshot volume becomes an independent volume.
You can permanently break the link between a snapshot and its original volume so that the snapshot volume becomes an independent volume.
To dissociate a snapshot from its original volume
Use the vxsnap dis command as follows:
# vxsnap -g <diskgroup> [-f] dis <snapshot_volume>
Remove the DCO logs from the snapshot volume:
# vxsnap -g <diskgroup> [-f] unprepare <snapshot_volume>
Remove the DCO logs from the primary volume, if necessary:
# vxsnap -g <diskgroup> [-f] unprepare <volume_name>
This example shows how to dissociate a snapshot volume from its original volume:
# vxsnap -g syb dis snap_vol
This example shows how to remove the DCO logs from the snapshot volume:
# vxsnap -g syb -f unprepare snap_vol
This example shows how to remove the DCO logs from the primary volume:
# vxsnap -g syb -f unprepare sybvol
