Smartcell Cloning view
This view shows status of current and past cloning operations. Use this view
to clone a smart cell. You can clone a smart cell if its mirror smart cell is
SUSPENDED , DEAD , or FAILED . (See Smart cell life cycle states , on page 2-13.)
Cloning a smart cell copies all its information to another smart cell that is in
the
FREE state to give the smart cell a new, viable mirror. Cloning operations
can take a long time (even a day) depending on amount of information cloned.
When you access the
Smartcell Cloning view, PCC searches for ongoing cloning
operations and loads current data. Only one smart cell can be cloned at a
time, so you see the progress of any ongoing cloning operation.

free cells are available.

all smart cells have viable mirrors, displays “No Broken
Groups Found.” If more than one smart cell needs a
mirror, a Change Source button appears below the
automatically selected IP address.
• Free Cells: Number of smart cells currently in the FREE
state. This is decremented by one after a cloning
operation starts.
