1 Select Virtual Copy Management from the navigation view.
2 Select the Virtual Copy Policy menu from the Virtual Copies
pull-down menu.
3 Enter the maximum number of virtual copies to be kept in the text field.
4 If you want to remove the oldest virtual copy, select Remove the oldest Virtual Copy. If
you want to keep the oldest virtual copy, select Retain the oldest Virtual Copy option.
◆ Remove the oldest Virtual Copy - If the maximum number of virtual copies is
reached, the oldest virtual copy is removed before a new virtual copy is created.
◆ Retain the oldest Virtual Copy - If the maximum number of virtual copies is reached,
the oldest virtual copy is retained and a new virtual copy is created.
5 Click Finish.
