10.3.7 Re-copy a logical drive

Use the Re-copy option in Copy Manager to create a new VolumeCopy for a selected source
and target logical drive (copy pair). You can use this option when you have stopped a
VolumeCopy and want to start it again or when a VolumeCopy has failed or completed. The
VolumeCopy will start over from the beginning.
Note: The Re-copy option will:
Overwrite existing data on the target logical drive.
Make the target logical drive read-only to hosts until you disable the read-only
attribute in the Copy Manager.
Important: Consider the following information:
If hosts have been mapped to the source logical drive, the data that will be copied to the
target logical drive when you re-copy might have changed since the previous
VolumeCopy was created.
To use this option, select only one VolumeCopy in Copy Manager.
A logical drive currently in a modification operation cannot be used as a source logical
drive or target logical drive.
A logical drive that has a status of Degraded cannot be used as a target logical drive.
A logical drive that has a status of Failed cannot be used as a source logical drive or
target logical drive.
To re-copy a VolumeCopy do the following:
1. Highlight the Logical Drive Copy that you want to recopy and click Re-Copy
