170 Configuration: Premium Feature—Virtual Disk Copy

Preferred RAID Controller Module Ownership

During a virtual disk copy, the same RAID controller module must own both

the source virtual disk and the target virtual disk. If both virtual disks do not

have the same preferred RAID controller module when the virtual disk copy

starts, the ownership of the target virtual disk is automatically transferred to

the preferred RAID controller module of the source virtual disk. When the

virtual disk copy is completed or is stopped, ownership of the target virtual

disk is restored to its preferred RAID controller module. If ownership of the

source virtual disk is changed during the virtual disk copy, ownership of the

target virtual disk is also changed.

Failed RAID Controller Module

You must manually change RAID controller module ownership to the

alternate RAID controller module to allow the virtual disk copy to complete

under all of these conditions:

• A virtual disk copy has a status of In Progress

• The preferred RAID controller module of the source virtual disk fails

• The ownership transfer does not occur automatically in the failover

Copy Manager

After you create a virtual disk copy by using the Create Copy Wizard, you can

monitor the virtual disk copy through the Copy Manager. From the Copy

Manager, a virtual disk copy may be re-copied, stopped, or removed. You can

also modify the attributes, such as the copy priority and the target virtual disk

Read-Only attribute. You can view the status of a virtual disk copy in the

Copy Manager. Also, if you need to determine which virtual disks are involved

in a virtual disk copy, you can use the Copy Manager or the storage array

profile.
