Pausing the MSDP server evacuation using the command-line
To pause the MSDP server evacuation using the command-line
- Pause the evacuation instantly.
Update the existing evacuation configuration file or create a new configuration file in the following format:
Use :EP instead of :Y as the suffix for the MSDP server and disk volume, which is in evacuation mode.
V7.5 "operation" "update-virtual-volume" string V7.5 "virtualVolume" "<mvg-volume>" string V7.5 "diskVolume" "<msdp-server1>:<msdp-volume1>:Y" string V7.5 "diskVolume" "<msdp-server2>:<msdp-volume2>:Y" string V7.5 "diskVolume" "<msdp-server...>:<msdp-volume...>:Y" string
For example:
cat /root/evacuate-host4.cfg V7.5 "operation" "update-virtual-volume" string V7.5 "virtualVolume" "mvg-local" string V7.5 "diskVolume" "mvgdemo-host2.mvgdemo.com:PureDiskVolume:Y" string V7.5 "diskVolume" "mvgdemo-host3.mvgdemo.com:PureDiskVolume:Y" string V7.5 "diskVolume" "mvgdemo-host4.mvgdemo.com:PureDiskVolume:EP" string
- Apply the configuration.
nbdevconfig -setconfig -storage_server <mvg-server> -stype PureDisk -configlist <configuration-file>
Alternatively, pause the evacuation by setting the maximum concurrent jobs to 0 in the destination storage unit. The evacuation suspends in up to 5 minutes by default.
