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
original 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.
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 RAID Level of Copies and press the space bar to toggle through
the available RAID levels until the RAID level you want is shown.
5.
Highlight Save Settings and Continue and press Enter.
6.
Highlight the disk array you want to use, press the spacebar to select it.
7.
Highlight Save Settings and Continue and press Enter.
8.
Highlight the number under Number of Copies and press the backspace bar
to erase the default number.
9.
Press the number key for the number of clones you want, then highlight Start
and press Enter.
Note the target logical drive ID number (TargetLdId). Use this number to
identify the LUN clone in a list of logical drives.
To cancel the cloning process:
1.
Highlight Stop and press Enter.
2.
Press Y to confirm the stop.
The action of creating a LUN momentarily takes the original LUN
or logical drive offline, meaning nobody can read or write to it.
