Creating a Virtual Disk Copy

Before creating a virtual disk copy, ensure that a suitable target virtual disk
exists on the storage array, or create a new target virtual disk specifically for
the virtual disk copy. The target virtual disk must have a capacity equal to or
greater than the source virtual disk.
You can have a maximum of eight virtual disk copies in progress at one time.
Any virtual disk copy greater than eight has a status of Pending until one of the
virtual disk copies with a status of In Progress completes.
