I just issued my first "vol copy" operation. It's running just fine as it copies a 1tb volume. I originally tried a flexclone split but after 15 hours it was only 6% complete.
As I read the cmd ref guide I saw that you can run 4 concurrent "vol copy" cmds, and there is a "vol copy status" cmd to monitor progress. From this I assumed a "vol copy" was a background process. When I issued the "vol copy start" on the console the prompt never returned - the copy seems to be running in foreground on the console. That is, the console prompt doesn't look like it will return until the copy completes. This surprised me! It spits out status msgs ever once in a while, and I can issue status cmds via rsh.
q) How do you get a "vol copy" command into background processing?

Thanks!
