Hi team,

 

We need to add "-is-backup true" parameter to new file clone create script due to a bug (they get Device Busy warning) but customer says they cannot make it. Below you can find the command that they run, how should I add "-is-backup true" parameter ?

 

New-NcClone -Volume /vol/BIAB_A/ -SourcePath ORACLEVM/OraDB01.STAGEA-Data01 -DestinationPath ORACLEVM/OraDB01.STAGEB-Data01

New-NcClone : Clone operation failed to start: Device busy

 

Thanks.

Hi,

 

Looking at the New-NcClone CmdLet help (Get-Help New-NcClone -full)

 

    -IsBackup [<Boolean>]
        Specifies whether the clone is being created for backup - that is source file will get periodically modified, 
        but the clone file should not be modified. The default value is false.

So you'd just need to add "-IsBackup $True" to the powershell command. EG

 

New-NcClone -Volume $volume -SourcePath $sourcePath -DestinationPath $destinationPath -IsBackup $True

Sorry for bothering guys. Looks like the problem is ONTAP version. They have 8.3 while this parameter comes with 8.3.2p2.
