volumecopy
Description
Copies a snapshot or a master volume to a new standard volume. The command
creates the destination volume you specify, which must be in a virtual disk owned
by the same controller as the source volume. While the copy operation is in
progress, the destination volume’s type is shown as
standard*; when complete, it
changes to
standard.
Before copying a master volume, verify that the snap-pool has space for the
temporary snapshot, which is used to track changes to the master volume while the
copy is in progress; for information about estimating snap-pool size, see help for the
WBI’s Create Snap-Pool page. Also, you must unmount it from hosts. After the
volume copy has started, you can remount the master volume.
Before copying a snapshot volume with its modified data, you must unmount it
from hosts. When the volume copy starts, the snapshot and the destination volume
will be offline (unavailable to hosts) until the operation is complete.
Caution – Copying a mounted master volume or a mounted snapshot volume (when
modified data is included) will result in data corruption.
