The copy number doesn't change, the field you want to 
look at for verification is the PC field, this is the 
Primary Copy field. 

Before you changed this this would have had 1 in its 
entry.  After you ran this command, this would have a 2 
in the field.  The way to read this field is the 
Primary copy for this image is Copy X.
