Handling added partitions

BMC AMI Copy processing supports the dynamic addition of partitions (ALTER...ADD PARTITION).

Specifics about how the COPY command handles added partitions are given in Partitions-added-before-processing-begins and Partitions-added-during-processing.

The COPY IMAGECOPY command duplicates an image copy made at a particular point in time and ignores any partitions added since.

BMC AMI Copy copy commands generated due to an ON NOTRECOVERABLE COPY condition created by a MODIFY command have the same requirements as those listed in Partitions-added-before-processing-begins and Partitions-added-during-processing. However, because BMC AMI Copy does not support the restart of failed copy commands generated by the TEMPLATE command, the restart requirements in Restart-reset-and-termination-processing-for-rotated-partitions are not supported.

Other BMC AMI Copy commands are not affected by an ALTER...ADD PARTITION.
