Methods
CreateReplica
Method overview
The CreateReplica method starts a task to create a new storage object that is a replica of the specified
source storage object (SourceElement). Note that using the input parameter, CopyType, this function
can be used to instantiate the replica, and to create an ongoing association between the source and
replica. If 0 is returned, the function completed successfully and no ConcreteJob instance is created.
If 4096/0x1000 is returned, a ConcreteJob is started, a reference to which is returned in the Job
output parameter.
The values that may be returned from an invocation of this method are:
• 0 ("Job Completed with No Error")
• 1 ("Not Supported")
• 2 ("Unknown")
• 3 ("Time-out")
• 4 ("Failed")
• 5 ("Invalid Parameter")
• 6 ("In Use")
5 ("Invalid Parameter") is returned if any of the following are true:
• The SourceElement argument is not specified or does not identify an existing StorageVirtualDisk .
• The TargetSettingGoal argument is specified but does not identify an existing StorageSetting.
• The TargetPool argument is specified but does not identify an existing StoragePool.
• The CopyType argument is not specified or does not specify a supported value.
• The TargetPool and/or the ElementName properties are not specified (for example, are null).
