Mount Linux ASM smart copy on another host
Hi,
I'm running the Linux HIT 1.2 and looking to leverage the ASM functionality to automate a data refresh process that currently is done manually. Is there a way using the asmcli to mount a smart copy created on one host onto another host?
The general idea I'm trying to accomplish:
- on DEV host execute a custom script that will ssh into PROD host and create a smart copy of a particular volume via asmcli
- on DEV use asmcli to mount this smart copy that was just created on PROD
The documentation doesn't speak to this concept, although I do see reference to listing smart copies from a specific host:
asmcli list smart-copy --hostname prod.foo.com
However, this doesn't seem to work. Both PROD and DEV are part of the same EqualLogic group and their ASM is using the same access configuration file with the same credentials. in the EQL Group Manager, the PROD volume being snapped does have a "snapshots only" ACL for DEV. Each host only sees smart copies created by itself, but, maybe I'm misinterpreting usage of the --hostname option.
Any advice on how to achieve this is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ryan
