Using navicli for scripts to sync consistency groups, clones, and fracture clones

As Gina suggested, we've moved this into our CLARiiON Support Forum.

Hi Hessler,

I think your question may have been buried in that long post. I'm going to get it moved over the support forums, hopefully you'll get some quick answers! -Gina

Hessler,

The script below is what I use to do some of what you are looking for. The command 'clone -listclone' will give you the status of the operation. If you are automating the process you can query the output and use those results to perform a successive action.

It is a pretty basic script but works for me for the particular environment I use it in, this is just a template script as the actual script has a lot more clone groups for the source. I run it interactively (hence the menu option) but you can just stip that of course if you are looking to automate it. I also have other scripts where I use variables for the clone group name and LUNs, so you can add in all those variables and just edit the begining of the script with your variables.
