The motive is to copy from files from the restored LUNs to the existing datbase.To facilitiate this, I cloned the volume and mapped the LUNs to the AIX Lparserver.&nbsp; Once the LUNs were mounted, the DBA's started the copying files (inside some mount points) from the cloned volumes(mapped LUNs)&nbsp; to a datbase which is on the same AIX lpar server.&nbsp; The hosts and the storage are on the same data center and connected to the same switch. I am finding it difficult to understand why the rate of data copy is so slow.</P><P></P><P>Regards</P><P>Rahul</P></BODY></HTML> Fri, 22 Jun 2012 04:51:05 GMT https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Date-copy-rate-is-slower-in-from-a-flexclone/m-p/17630#M4187 deygaurab 2012-06-22T04:51:05Z Re: Date copy rate is slower in from a flexclone https://community.netapp.com/t5/ONTAP-Discussions/Date-copy-rate-is-slower-in-from-a-flexclone/m-p/17635#M4189 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><P>I found the solution. Changing the mount point option worked for me.
