Hal you must issue the FCQUERY commands or use ICKDSF FLASHCPY to see status - but the targets are usable after the complete message - you can use them . If there is a change on the source which is not yet copied to the target it will be copied to target before overwriting the source.
The timing depends on a lot of factors - how many application IO are running , are you flashin in the same rank (should not) or cross rank - as well as on the level of microcode - there has been significant improvements in the past months . You may see from 50 MB (Copy same rank and running applications) to several 100 MB when running multiple ranks with no application io . Frank Krueger We just flashed a number of volumes. The flash function reports complete in a second or two, but the physical copy will take a while. There were 110 mod 3 volumes, and 40 were mod 27's. About 1.2 tb. Is there any way to tell when the physical copy completes and the target volumes are usable?
