6.2 Creating New Virtual Copies
Prior to creating a virtual copies, the following restrictions should be noted:
■ Creating a virtual copy at the VM level requires available space on the datastore where the
VMDK file resides.
■ Datastore creation from NFS drives is not supported from virtual copy operations.
■ Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere requires VMFS snapshots. However, taking a VMFS
snapshot of a VM participating in disk sharing, such as Microsoft MSCS, is not supported
(this is a VMFS limitation).
To create a new virtual copy on the VM or datastore, perform the following:
1 Follow the instructions in 6.1 Viewing Virtual Copy Information on page 6.2.
2 Click the Virtual Copies tab.
3 Click Create. You are then asked to supply the name for the virtual copy set.
NOTE: 3PAR Management Plug-In and Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere
does not support the InServ Storage Server’s host set feature.
NOTE: Virtual copy space must be available on the 3PAR Virtual Volume. In order
to create a virtual copy on 3PAR's base volume, the volume itself must have had
virtual copy space allocated during its creation.
