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.

The following steps show the general process for creating a virtual disk copy:

  1. Enable the Virtual Disk Copy feature.
  2. Determine candidates for a virtual disk copy.
  3. Create the target virtual disk and source virtual disk for a virtual disk copy.
