D-Link Document - User Manual 1. Skip full copy on a new, clean virtual disk. The term "clean" means that the virtual disk has never had data written on it since created. For a new created virtual disk which has not been accessed, the system will recognize it and skip full copy automatically when the replication job is created on this virtual disk the first time. TIP: Any IO access to the new created virtual disk will make it "not clean", even executing the "Erase" function when the virtual disk is created. The full copy will take place in such a case. 2. The other way is to use virtual disk clone function, which is a local data copy function between virtual disks to execute full copy the first time. Then move all the physical drives of the target virtual disk to the target system and then turn the cloning job into a replication task with differential copy afterward. To do virtual disk clone transfers to Replication, please follow the procedure below: 1. Create a cloning job on an existing virtual disk with data stored already. 2. It is better if there is no host connected to the source virtual disk. Then run Set Clone, Start Clone to synchronize the data between source and target virtual disks. 3. After the data is synchronized, change the cloning job to a Replication task. Select the source virtual disk, and then click ▼ -> Change Replication Options. 4. The Clone status of the source virtual disk will be changed from the name of the target virtual disk into Replication. Copyright@2014 D-Link System, Inc. All Rights Reserved. 127
