The manipulation and analysis of information is often vital to a company's success. Typically, this data mining is done by servers other than
those running the production applications generating the data. Volume copy creates an exact duplicate, or clone, of the production data that can be
mapped to a separate server for analysis. The clone can be used for application testing or development, information analysis, data mining, or backup / restoration.
Volume copy can also be used to redistribute data - moving volumes from older, slower disk drives to newer, faster or higher capacity drives - to
optimize performance, storage density or capacity utilization.
- The clone volume is a unique entity that can be assigned to any host and used by applications requiring a point-in-time (PiT) copy of production data without affecting the performance of the production volume
- The clone volume can have different characteristics from the original volume - reside on a different volume group with different RAID level and different configuration settings - providing maximum flexibility
- Volume copy is configured and accessed via easy-to-use wizards or command line interface
- Volume copy supports up to eight concurrent copies taking place within a single storage system
- Volume copy is a background operation with five user-defined priority settings, enabling administrators to minimize either copy time or the overall I/O impact to the storage system
- Volume copy is controller based requiring no host interaction or CPU cycles - minimizing the impact to applications and the storage infrastructure
