13 Creating Copies The HP 3PAR Management Console allows you to create virtual copy snapshots, as well as physical copies of base volumes. A physical copy duplicates an entire volume, whereas a virtual copy only records changes to the base volume. Consult the following sections for more information: "Creating Virtual Copies" (page 180) "Creating Physical Copies" (page 184) Creating Virtual Copies The HP 3PAR Management Console allows you to view, create, edit, remove, and promote virtual copies. Consult the following sections for more information: "Viewing Virtual Copies" (page 180) "Creating a Virtual Copy" (page 181) "Editing a Virtual Copy" (page 181) "Removing a Virtual Copy" (page 182) "Creating a Consistency Group Virtual Copy" (page 182) "Creating a Batch Virtual Copy" (page 183) "Promoting a Virtual Copy" (page 184) Viewing Virtual Copies Virtual copies are displayed on the Virtual Volumes tab. A volume name displaying a plus (+) sign to the left indicates that at least one virtual copy of that volume exists. Clicking the plus sign expands the volume displaying the virtual copy. A volume name displaying a plus (+) sign to the left indicates that at least one virtual copy of that volume exists. Clicking the plus sign expands the volume displaying the virtual copy.
