Clone a Boot LUN

You can create a clone of a Windows boot LUN as a safety archive or to set up a number of similar boot-from-SAN hosts. The host must not be booted from the LUN when a clone is created.

  1. Shut down the host.
  2. Use the Clone LUN feature in the Oracle FS System Manager (GUI) to create a clone of the LUN.
    Refer to the Oracle FS System Administrator’s Guide for additional detals.
  3. Remove the host mappings from the original LUN.
  4. Change the original LUN number to some other LUN number.
  5. Assign the original LUN number to the clone.
  6. Map the clone to the host.
  7. Restart the host.
