45 TR1081 | Microsoft SQL Server Database Protection Using EqualLogic Auto-Snapshot Manager / Microsoft Edition
Figure 32 Unmount and Resume Replication
The Clone and Clone and Restore as New options both create a clone of the replica smart copy and list
the clone in the ASM/ME Smart Copies area as non-VSS type smart copies. Replica clones can be used as
replica copies without pausing replication between the PS Series groups.
The Clone option will only create the clone and place the clone as an option in the Smart Copies list. An
additional operation is required to mount the clone on the host chosen.
The Clone and Restore as New will create the clone as well as mount and attach the clone as a new
database in the SQL instance of choice.
Note: ASM/ME creates a clone of each volume that makes up the replica smart copy. Be sure to mount
all cloned database volumes when using the Clone and Mount options.
Like a mounted smart copy, an “i” (meaning imported) will designate the mounted clone. To un-mount
the clone, right-click in ASM/ME and choose Unmount and Logoff… Optionally delete the mounted clone
if changes have taken place on the clone copy.
