• TargetElement: ◦ As an input, refers to a target element to use for a physical copy. This is NULL when creating a snapshot. If this is NULL when creating a clone, the target clone will be created automatically. ◦ As an output, refers to the created target storage element (i.e., the replica). If a job is created, the target element may not be available immediately. • TargetAccessPoint: NULL • ReplicationSettingData: NULL, as a client cannot modify the replication behavior of a copy operation • Job: If a Job is created as a side-effect of the execution of the method, then a reference to that Job is returned through this parameter (may be NULL if job is completed). • Synchronization: Refers to the created association between the source and the target element. If a job is created, this parameter may be NULL, unless the association is actually formed. • TargetSettingGoal: The definition for the StorageSetting to be maintained by the target storage object (the replica). This is valid only for snapshot volumes (base ID, expiration timer, retention timer). ◦ For snapshots only the following properties are applicable: BaseID, ExpirationTimer and RetentionTimer. ◦ For clones only the following properties are applicable: ThinlyProvisioned, UserDSPName, SnapDSPName • TargetPool: The underlying storage for the target element (the replica) will be drawn from TargetPool if specified, otherwise the allocation is implementation specific. ◦ For snapshots, this parameter if specified must be the DeltaReplicaStoragePool that is associated with the source StorageVolume. ◦ For clones, this parameter if specified can be any DynamicStoragePool; if not specified, the clone will be allocated from the same parent DynamicStoragePool as the source volume • WaitForCopyState: Before returning, the method shall wait until this CopyState is reached.
