A LUN clone is an exact copy of the original LUN or logical drive, including all the data it contains, at one point
in time. Use a LUN clone as a backup or to migrate a LUN from one system to another.
Important
The action of creating a LUN momentarily takes the original LUN or logical drive offline,
meaning nobody can read or write to it.
A LUN clone has the same capacity, stripe size, read and write policies as the orignal LUN. However, the LUN
clone can be a different RAID level. The choice of RAID levels depends on the disk array. And if you have multiple
disk arrays, you can create the LUN clone on a different disk array than the original LUN.
This action requires Super User or Power User privileges.
To create a LUN clone of a logical drive:
1. From the Main Menu, highlight Logical Drive Management and press Enter .
2. Highlight the logical drive you want to clone and press Enter .
3. Highlight LUN Clone and press Enter .
4. Highlight the RAID Level of Copies field, type the RAID level you want.
5. Highlight Save Settings and Continue and press Enter .
6. Highlight the disk array you want to use and press the Spacebar to mark it.
7. Highlight Save Settings and Continue and press Enter .
8. Highlight the Number of Copies field and type the number of LUN clones you want to create.
You can create up to 8 clones of a LUN at a time.
