Setting copy priority

You can use the Copy Manager to select the rate at which a virtual disk copy completes for a selected copy pair. You can change the copy priority for a copy pair at any of these times:
  • Before the virtual disk copy begins
  • While the virtual disk copy has a status of In Progress
  • When you re-create a virtual disk copy

To set copy priority:

  1. In the AMW, select the Storage & Copy Services tab and select Copy Services > Virtual Disk Copy > Manage Copies.
    The Copy Manager window is displayed.
  2. In the table, select one or more copy pairs.
  3. Select Change > Copy Priority.
    The Change Copy Priority window is displayed.
  4. In the Copy Priority area, select the appropriate copy priority, depending on your system performance needs.
    NOTE: There are five copy priority rates available:
    • lowest
    • low
    • medium
    • high
    • highest
    If the copy priority is set at the lowest rate, I/O activity is prioritized, and the virtual disk copy takes longer.
