Recopying the Virtual Disk After first preparing the host server(s) as specified in the preceding procedure, complete the following steps to create a new virtual disk copy for an existing copy pair: 1 Click the Modify tab, and then click Manage virtual disk copies. You can only select one copy operation at a time to be recopied. 2 Select the copy operation in the list displayed by the Manage Virtual Disk Copies page, and then click Recopy at the right of the list. 3 The Recopy dialog box appears. Set the copy priority. 4 Type yes, and click OK. 5 If you approve of the parameters, type yes in the text box and click Finish to confirm the copy settings and start the virtual disk copy. The Copy Started page appears, verifying that the virtual disk copy has started. This dialog also enables you to exit the Create virtual disk copies feature or create another new virtual disk copy. 6 Choose one of the following options, based on whether you want to create another virtual disk copy or modify the one you just created: • Yes - Create a new virtual disk copy. • No - Exit the Create virtual disk copies dialog. • Manage Virtual Disk Copies - Recopy, stop the copy process, set permissions or priority, or remove virtual disk copies. You can view the progress of a virtual disk copy in the Manage virtual disk copies page. For each copy operation in progress, the list displays a sliding scale in the Status field showing the percentage of the operation that is complete. Once the virtual disk copy is complete, perform the following actions: 1 In Linux, if you created the target virtual disk with unconfigured capacity, run the hot_add utility. 2 If you created the target virtual disk with unconfigured capacity, you must map the virtual disk to a host in order to use it. See "Host-to-Virtual Disk Mapping" on page 60 for more information. 92 Virtual Disk Copy
