wafl-sync | [top]

> Forces a WAFL consistency point (CP) in order to reduce the time for succeeding fence and snapshot related operations. In Data ONTAP 7-Mode this call is synchronous and will not return until the CP has completed. In Data ONTAP Cluster-Mode this API is asynchronous and will return immediately as soon as the CP is scheduled. The wafl-get-sync-status API can be used to check status of the previously scheduled CP. Two uses of this API are to predict how fast a successive consistency group based operation will finish, to improve performance of succeeding consistency group primitives.

> Input Name | Range | Type | Description
> volumes |  | volume-name[] optional | A list of volume names to take a CP on. In Data ONTAP 7-Mode, the CP operation will be performed on all the volumes on the controller if no volumes are specified. In Data ONTAP Cluster-Mode, "volumes" is a required input and all specified volumes must belong to the same Vserver. If an error is encountered when processing the sync request for a volume, the operation is aborted and sync operation will not be performed on the rest of the volumes specified.
