Adding clone LUNs to the clone group
Use the following procedure.
To add clone LUNs to the clone group
- In the EMC Navisphere Web interface, on the SnapView > Clones node, right-click the name of the clone group and select Add Clone.
- Select a LUN from the list to be added to the clone group.
Accept the defaults for Advanced Parameters, Recovery Policy, and Synchronization Rate.
Do not choose a LUN that contains valuable data. Any data on the LUN is overwritten by this procedure.
The number of clones to add depends on how many point-in-time copies of the source LUN you want to retain at one time. The limit is 8 clones per source LUN.
This value should match the Maximum Snapshots setting in the EMC_CLARiiON_Snapview_Clone configuration parameters in the Snapshot Options dialog in a NetBackup policy.
- When you click Apply, Navisphere begins to copy data from the source LUN to the LUN you have selected, creating a clone LUN.
Any previous data on the clone LUN is lost.
