Premium Feature Scenario 3 – “How can I create an independent copy of
my data?”
VolumeCopy
Another premium feature of the DS3000 Storage Manager is VolumeCopy. VolumeCopy creates a
complete physical copy, or a clone, of a logical drive within a disk system. The clone 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 that production data. This feature is typically used
in conjunction with FlashCopy to provide an independent copy of a point-in-time FlashCopy logical drive.
Once the VolumeCopy feature is enabled (see page 26), go to the Configure tab and select Create
Logical Drive Copies.
You will then be directed to the Create Logical Drive Copies – Select Source Logical Drive window.
Select the logical drive you wish to copy.
