Cmdlet: Start-NcWaflSync


NAME
Start-NcWaflSync

SYNOPSIS
Force a WAFL consistency point (CP) in order to reduce the time for succeedi
ng fence and snapshot related operations.

SYNTAX
Start-NcWaflSync [-Volume] <String[]> [-VserverContext <String>] [-Controlle
r <NcController[]>] [<CommonParameters>]


DESCRIPTION
Force a WAFL consistency point (CP) in order to reduce the time for succeedi
ng fence and snapshot related operations. This cmdlet will return once the
CP has been scheduled. Use Get-NaWaflSync to check on the status of the CP.


Two uses of this cmdlet are:
1) to predict how fast a successive consistency group based operation will
finish.
2) to improve performance of succeeding consistency group primitives.


PARAMETERS
-Volume <String[]>
Volume name(s) to perform the consistency point operation on.

Required? true
Position? 1
Default value
Accept pipeline input? true (ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false

-VserverContext <String>
Vserver to which to direct this command. If the currently connected con
troller (as embodied by an NcController object) represents a cluster, th
ere are multiple means to address commands to one of its vservers. Eith
er set the Vserver field on the NcController object to direct all subseq
uent commands to that vserver, or supply the VserverContext parameter to
an individual cmdlet. Only cmdlets which may be invoked on vservers of
fer the VserverContext parameter.

Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false

-Controller <NcController[]>
A Data ONTAP cluster-mode controller to receive this cmdlet, as embodied
by an NcController object. This parameter is returned by the Connect-N
cController cmdlet. If not specified, the value in the global variable
CurrentNcController is used. In the latter case, if CurrentNcController
contains a collection of NcController objects, this cmdlet is invoked o
n each controller in succession.

Required? false
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? true (ByValue, ByPropertyName)
Accept wildcard characters? false

<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer and OutVariable. For more information, type,
"get-help about_commonparameters".
