Working with the Logical Drive Summary

The Logical Drive Summary displays a list of all logical drives in the VessRAID
enclosure plus the expanded or cascaded enclosures. This list does not arrange
the logical drives under the disk array to which they belong nor under the
enclosure in which they are located.
Logical Drive Summary includes the following functions:
• Viewing a List of All Logical Drives (page 179)
• Viewing Individual Logical Drive Information (page 179)
• Creating a LUN Clone (page 179)

The information and location for the logical drive appear in Management
View. See Viewing Logical Drive Information (page 168).

Creating a LUN Clone

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.
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.
You can create a LUN clone immediately using this procedure, or schedule LUN
cloning to run automatically at another time.

The action of creating a LUN momentarily takes the original LUN
or logical drive offline, meaning nobody can read or write to it.
