After completion of the virtual disk copy of a snapshot (legacy), the legacy snapshot is disabled. Aftercompletion of the virtual disk copy using a snapshot image, the snapshot image is deleted and thesnapshot virtual disk is disabled.NOTE: You can have a maximum of eight virtual disk copies in progress at one time. If you try tocreate more than eight virtual disk copies at one time, the RAID controller modules return a statusof Pending until one of the virtual disk copies that is in progress finishes and returns a status ofComplete.NOTE: Snapshots created using older (legacy) premium feature versions cannot be managed usingnewer snapshot premium feature options. Also, a virtual disk in a snapshot group cannot be a targetfor a virtual disk copy. If you want to choose the base virtual disk of an older (legacy) snapshotvirtual disk as your target virtual disk, you must first disable all snapshot (legacy) virtual disks that areassociated with the base virtual disk.The following table lists the Virtual Disk Copy commands.NOTE: These commands apply when you are using a snapshot or a snapshot (legacy) image.Table 12. Virtual Disk Copy CommandsCommand Descriptioncreate virtualDiskCopy Creates a virtual disk copy and starts the virtual diskcopy operation.recopy virtualDiskCopy Reinitiates a virtual disk copy operation using anexisting virtual disk copy pair.enable storageArray feature Activates the Virtual Disk Copy feature.recopy virtualDiskCopy Re-initiates a virtual disk copy operation by usingan existing virtual disk copy pair.remove virtualDiskCopy Removes a virtual disk copy pair.set virtualDiskCopy Defines the properties for a virtual disk copy pair.show virtualDiskCopy Returns information about virtual disk copyoperations. You can retrieve information about aspecific virtual disk copy pair, or all virtual disk copypairs in the storage array.show virtualDiskCopy sourceCandidates Returns information about the candidate virtualdisks that you can use as the source for a virtualdisk copy operation.show virtualDiskCopy targetCandidates Returns information about the candidate virtualdisks that you can use as the target for a virtual diskcopy operation.stop virtualDiskCopy Stops a virtual disk copy operation.Creating A Virtual Disk CopyBefore creating a virtual disk copy, ensure that a suitable target virtual disk exists on the storage array, orcreate a new target virtual disk specifically for the virtual disk copy. The target virtual disk must have acapacity equal to or greater than the source virtual disk.78
