replay createview

Description

Creates a view volume on an existing Replay and optionally maps the new view volume to a server.

NOTE: A Replay is a Storage Center point-in-time copy that allows a site to restore data from a specic point in time. When

planning Replay schedules and expiration settings, take care to balance restore requirements with the amount of resources

consumed by unexpired Replays. Unexpired Replays can consume a disproportionate amount of Storage Center resources.

Format

replay createview –index <int> | ({–name <string> | –last} {–volumeindex <int> | –volume

<string> | –deviceid <string> | –serialnumber <string>})

Options

–boot

If present, designates the view volume on a Replay as a boot volume. The –boot and –lun options are mutually exclusive. Specifying the –

boot option maps the view volume to lun0. If neither –boot nor –lun option is specied, the next available LUN is automatically assigned

(Storage Center 5.0 and later).

–deviceid string

Species the volume device ID.

–folder string

Species a folder for the volume.

-folderindex integer

Species a folder by index for the volume.

–h

Shows help for command options.

–index string

Species the Replay index. If the index is specied, no other volume or Replay identiers are required.

–last

Creates a view from the last frozen Replay.

–localport string

Sets the world wide name (WWN) of the local port to which the volume is mapped. (Deprecated. The –localport option is ignored if the

Storage Center version is 4.x and is invalid if the Storage Center version is 5.0 or later.)

–lun integer

Species the logical unit number (LUN) for the mapped volume. The –boot and –lun options are mutually exclusive. If neither –boot nor –

lun option is specied, the next available LUN is automatically assigned (Storage Center 5.0 and later).Dell EMC recommends that you

allow LUNs to be automatically assigned to avoid issues with operating systems that require sequential LUN ordering.

–move

For the –view option only. If the view volume created by the –view option already exists, takes a Replay of the existing view volume before

making the new view volume the active view for the created Replay. Changes to the existing view volume are retained in the Replay for the
