Aborting a volume copy operation

About aborting a volume copy

If data is being copied between two filers, you can stop copying by executing the vol copy abort command on either filer.

If you start the volume copying operation from the filer console, you can enter the vol copy abort command only through the rsh command. This is because you do not have access to the filer prompt on the console during the copying.

Caution
An incomplete volume copy operation leaves unusable data in the destination volume.

Prerequisite

To abort a specific volume copy operation, you need to specify the volume copy operation number. You can obtain the operation number from the vol copy status output.
