RM 5: Multiple Snaps of Clone
I currently have a job in RMSE (I am going to upgrade soon to RM 5.0 SP1 for more reasons than just this question I am posting) that synchronizes a clone of a SQL database every night (spread across 7 LUNs and about 1.6TB in size). Each morning I have a custom script that refreshes snapshots of the clone and assigns the snapshots to three different SQL servers that are used by developers.
The problem with taking a snap of a clone is that the clone is marked ReadOnly and Hidden, and to remove the ReadOnly and Hidden attributes from the snapshots requires user input in the script (have to list the volumes in diskpart to get volume numbers for diskpart scripts).
Does anyone know if RM 5 has any options that will make this process easier? Like automating multiple snaps of a single clone group to multiple mount hosts?
Thank,
Aran
