Veritas NetBackup™ Snapshot Client Administrator's Guide

Adding clone LUNs to the clone group

Use the following procedure.

To add clone LUNs to the clone group

  1. In the EMC Navisphere Web interface, on the SnapView > Clones node, right-click the name of the clone group and select Add Clone.
  2. 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.

      See Maximum Snapshots parameter.

  3. 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.
