Virtual Disk Copy

The Virtual Disk Copy premium feature copies data from one virtual disk (the source virtual disk) to another virtual disk (the target virtual disk) within a single storage array. You can use this premium feature to perform these functions:

  • Copy data from disk groups that use smaller-capacity physical disks to disk groups that use larger-capacity physical disks
  • Back up data
  • Restore snapshot virtual disk data to the base virtual disk.

You can use a primary virtual disk in a remote replication as a source virtual disk or a target virtual disk in a virtual disk copy. You cannot use a secondary virtual disk as a source virtual disk or a target virtual disk.

  • NOTE: If you start a role reversal during a copy-in-progress, the copy fails and cannot be restarted.
