Before creating a volume copy, be sure that a suitable target volume exists on the storage array, or create a new target volume specifically for the volume copy. For information on planning volume copies, see Planning Volume Copies.
You can create a copy of a standard volume, a target volume, or a snapshot volume. For information about copying a snapshot volume, see Copying a Volume Snapshot.
To create a volume copy of a standard volume or a target volume:
The Array Summary page is displayed.
The Volume Summary page for that array is displayed.
The Volume Details page for that volume is displayed.
The Copy Volume page is displayed.
The higher the priority you select, the more resources will be allocated to the volume copy operation at the expense of the storage array's performance.
Select a target volume with a capacity similar to the usable capacity of the source volume to reduce the risk of having unusable space on the target volume after the volume copy is created.
A message confirms that the volume copy has successfully started.
