Need to clone, split and map 300 luns to igroups in efficient manner

[NEWNETAPP987]

Hi,

We now find ourselves in a position that we need to clone, split and map about 200 luns for  a DR recovery situation.

We have snapmirror set up between two Netapp arrays.  We clone, split and map the luns on the destination system for our DR test. 

We are somewhat new to Netapp so may not have all the best processes in place.

We clone and split the volume with System Manager GUI.   Then we do lun online and lun map to the proper igroups.

Is there a better more efficient way to do this?

Thanks for your assistance

This can be all automated via powershell and netapp powershell toolkit.

If you are not familiar with powershell for netapp, I would suggest you read up on it
