Creating a LUN Clone
A LUN clone is an exact copy of the original LUN or logical drive, including all the
data it contains, at one point in time. Use a LUN clone as a backup or to migrate
a LUN from one system to another.
A LUN clone has the same capacity, stripe size, read and write policies as the
orignal LUN. However, the LUN clone can be a different RAID level. The choice
of RAID levels depends on the disk array. And if you have multiple disk arrays,
you can create the LUN clone on a different disk array than the original LUN.
This action requires Super User or Power User privileges.
To create a LUN clone of a logical drive:
1. From the Main Menu, highlight Logical Drive Management and press
Enter.
2. Highlight the logical drive you want to clone and press Enter.
3. Highlight LUN Clone and press Enter.
4. Highlight the RAID Level of Copies field, type the RAID level you want.
5. Highlight Save Settings and Continue and press Enter.
6. Highlight the disk array you want to use and press the Spacebar to mark it.
7. Highlight Save Settings and Continue and press Enter.
8. Highlight the Number of Copies field and type the number of LUN clones you
want to create.
You can create up to 8 clones of a LUN at a time.
9. Highlight Start and press enter to begin the cloning process.
10. Press eny key to continue.
11. Press Y to confirm LUN clone creation.
The cloning progress bar displays.
Note the Target Logical Drive ID. Use this number to identify the LUN clone
in the Logical Drive list.
Important
The action of creating a LUN momentarily takes the original LUN
or logical drive offline, meaning nobody can read or write to it.
