Create Virtual Disk Copy This command creates a virtual disk copy and starts the virtual disk copy operation. CAUTION: Before you create a new copy of a source virtual disk, stop any data access (I/O) activity or suspend data transfer to the source virtual disk and (if applicable, the target disk) to ensure that you capture an accurate point-in-time image of the source virtual disk. Close all applications, including Windows Internet Explorer, to make sure all I/O activity has stopped. NOTE: See "Preparing Host Servers to Create a Virtual Disk Copy" on page 80. NOTE: Removing the drive letter of the associated virtual disk(s) in Windows or unmounting the virtual drive in Linux helps to guarantee a stable copy of the drive for the virtual copy. NOTE: You can have a maximum of eight virtual disk copies in progress at one time. If you try to create more than eight virtual disk copies at one time, the RAID controller modules return a status of Pending until one of the virtual disk copies that is in progress finishes and returns a status of Complete.
