4.3.4.1 CLONE CELL

This command clones an existing storage cell.

Note:

This command is deprecated and replaced by CLONE NEWCELL.

Syntax

CLONE CELL 
   SRCNAME=source_cell 
   [ TGTNAME=new_cell_name ]
   [ WAIT=wait ]
   [ POWER=power ]
[ WHERE STEPNAME=step ]
SET ADMINNET NAME=admin_name IP=admin_ip  [ NETMASK=netmask ] [ GATEWAY=gatewayip ]
SET PRIVNET NAME1=priv_name_1 IP1=priv_ip1 NAME2=priv_name_2 IP2=priv_ip2
SET ILOMNET NAME=ilom_name IP=ilom_ip [ NETMASK=netmask ] [ GATEWAY=gatewayip ]
SET RACK NUM=rack_number ULOC=ulocation

Arguments

  • SRCNAME: Specifies the name of an existing cell from which the new cell is derived.

  • TGTNAME: Specifies the name of the new cell being added.

  • WAIT: Default is true, in which case the command waits for completion of the ASM rebalance operation prior to completion. Optionally, set to false to return control without waiting for the ASM rebalance operation.

  • POWER : Optionally, specifies the ASM rebalance power limit. The range of valid values is 1 - 1024.

  • STEPNAME: Specifies the deployment step to perform, which is one of the following:

    • CONFIG_CELL
    • CREATE_GRIDDISKS
    • ADD_DISKS_TO_ASM
    • REBALANCE

You can set the following options for a cloned cell:

  • ADMINNET : Specifies the DNS name and IP address to use for the administration network. The DNS name may optionally include the domain name. You can also optionally specify the netmask and gateway for the administration network.

  • PRIVNET : Specifies the names and IP addresses to use for the first and second private networks. The names may optionally include the domain name.

  • ILOMNET : Specifies the DNS name and IP address to use for the ILOM network. The DNS name may optionally include the domain name. You can also optionally specify the netmask and gateway for the ILOM network.

  • RACK : Specifies the rack number in a multi-rack configuration, where 1 is the first rack, and the physical location (slot number) of the cell in the rack.

The following example shows the command sequence for adding cell dbm01celadm14 by cloning dbm01celadm09. 

# Clone
