'vol clone' or 'lun clone' or using the new 'clone' command are all easy. See the man pages for the syntax of each. You can copy the volume from one filer to the other with the 'ndmpcopy' command.

Or use the 'vol clone' command to clone the volume instead of the LUN. Advantage is to be able to take seperate snapshots for each of the 8 machines. I hope this response has been helpful to you.

It's the RedHat server you need to shut down, not the filer. You'd want it to be shut down so that the LUN is in a consistent state when you take the snapshot for the clone.

I don't mind - I'll try ! Shut down the server with your original LUN. See the man pages for: 'vol clone create' to clone your volume with the LUN in it for each new LUN. 'igroup create' to create an igroup for each new machine. 'lun map' to map each new LUN to each new igroup. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Emanuel - It's very possible and common to retain data for more than a year. What is customer trying to retain with ? Snapshots ? You can retain up to 255 weekly snapshots. SnapVault ?

You can use the 'fcadmin config' command to determine the configuration ( initiator or target ) for FC ports. On board FC ports can also be re-configured to be initiators or targets using the 'fcadmin config' command - see the man pages. Add on cards are factory configured to be initiators or targets. Initiator ports could be configured through a switch, given correct zoning and the ability to do loop login on the switch, but it's not a standard config. ( not a supported configuration ). Shelves are connected through switches when deploying fabric attached Metro Cluster, but that's not what you're doing here. I hope this response has been helpful to you. At your service, Eugene E.

Chris - It sounds like you have your existing FC ports configured as SAN targets. They can't be used as initiator ports to talk to the new drive shelf. You'll need to connect the new shelf to other initiator ports. Do you have your single PCI slot free ? You could install a FC initiator card there... I hope this response has been helpful to you.
