Use the Re-Copy Logical Drive option in the Copy Manager to create a new VolumeCopy for a selected base logical drive and target logical drive. Use this option when you have stopped a VolumeCopy and want to start it again or when a VolumeCopy has failed or completed. The VolumeCopy starts over from the beginning.
Attention:
Possible loss of data – The Re-Copy option overwrites existing data on the target logical drive.
Attention:
Possible loss of data access – Base logical drives that are participating in a VolumeCopy are available for read I/O activity only while a VolumeCopy has a status of In Progress or Pending. Write requests are allowed after the VolumeCopy has completed.If the base logical drive has been formatted with a journaling file system, any attempt to issue a read request to the base logical drive might be rejected by the storage subsystem. An error message might appear. The journaling file system driver issues a write request before it attempts to issue the read request. The controller rejects the write request. This situation might result in an error message appearing, which indicates that the base logical drive is write protected.
To prevent this issue from occurring, do not attempt to access a base logical drive that is participating in a VolumeCopy while the VolumeCopy has a status of In Progress. Also, make sure that the Read-Only attribute for the target logical drive is disabled after the VolumeCopy has completed to prevent error messages from appearing.
Important:
Note:
There are five copy priority rates available: lowest, low, medium, high, and highest. If the copy priority is set at the lowest rate, I/O activity is prioritized, and the VolumeCopy takes longer. If the copy priority is set to the highest priority rate, the VolumeCopy is prioritized, but I/O activity for the storage subsystem might be affected.
Note:
You can view the progress of a VolumeCopy in the Copy Manager dialog only when a VolumeCopy has a status of In Progress.Operation in Progress icons appear on the base logical drive and the target logical drive while the VolumeCopy has a status of In Progress or Pending.
