NAME
iicpshd - copy Availability Suite Point-in-Time shadow volume
SYNOPSIS
iicpshd [-s] old_shadow new_shadow...
DESCRIPTION
The iicpshd command copies an Availability Suite Instant Image shadow volume, updating the bit map header and Availability Suite configura-
tion to reflect the new shadow volume.
No checks on the current use of either the old or new shadow volumes are made. The iicpshd command should only be run when the Instant
Image shadow set using the old shadow volume is suspended.
OPTIONS
The iicpshd command supports the following option:
-s Update the StorageTek configuration information for the Point-in-Time shadow set, but do not copy data from the old shadow
volume to the new shadow volume.
OPERANDS
A iicpshd command line has the following operands:
old_shadow new_shadow
iicpshd copies the data of the old Availability Suite Instant Image shadow volume to the new shadow volume and updates the bit map
header and configuration data.

WARNINGS
iicpshd should be run only when the system is in single-user mode. When you run iicpshd, the command makes no attempt to check if a Point-
in-Time set is in use. Running iicpshd with the -s flag while Point-in-Time is using the old shadow volume can result in shadow volume data
loss. If you use the -s option, you must manually copy the data on the old shadow volume to the new shadow volume.
