what is the command for creating a clone of a Lun
Hi,
Can we create a copy of a lun directly as we can do in NetApp, we can do it through snap view mirror but in that case we need to have a destination lun. But the query is the creation or a clone of a Lun ??
Please suggest.
Regards,
Sanjeev

The unique part of the image name is that the imageUID is the WWN of the array, then each mirror has a unique name. The "imageUID" is the same for all secondary images on "that" array, the difference is the mirror name, that changes for each mirror.
Yes you can use it for testing in your enviorment..

Command for creating a clone of a Lun if this is a async mirror is :
I am Quoting here a example for the creation of a mirror :
The mirror -async -create command creates the mirror named db_mirror on LUN 112. The
mirror automatically activates.
naviseccli -h ss1_spa mirror -async -create -name db_mirror -lun 112
The MV CLi guide can be obtained from :
