HP IAP Version 2.0 Administrator Guide (July 2008)

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 (as much as a day), depending
on the amount of information cloned.
To place a source smart cell in the free pool, contact HP support.
When you access the Cloning view, PCC searches for ongoing cloning operations and loads the current
data. Only one smar t cell c an be cloned at a time, so you see the progress of any ongoing cloning
operation.
