Beginning in OES 2 SP3 Linux, options are available to stop all currently running policies, or to stop an individual running policy. When a policy run begins, the policy is enforced on each of the shadow volumes that are specified in the policy’s parameter. Therefore, the stop command applies to all shadow volumes that are associated with the policy. It is not possible to stop the policy for only one of multiple associated shadow volumes.
It takes some time (several seconds to a few minutes) for a policy to stop gracefully. For each of its associated shadow volumes, the policy run stops after it completes the move for the file that is currently being moved. The list of files to be moved for each associated shadow volume is discarded.
You cannot restart the policy from the point where you stopped a policy run. The next time that the policy is started, it scans its associated shadow volumes to create new lists of files to be moved.
Use the procedures in this section to stop one or all of the currently running shadow volume policies.
