Example 2: Copying One Logical Volume

In this example, you are copying only one logical volume (-lv B) from the parent array to
the RAID-Copy array.

To copy one logical volume, give the commands:

ssa_make_copy -P -l lv_B

ssa_make_copy -l lv_B

Figure 26 shows, from left to right:

v

The parent array that contains the source volume group.

v

The empty RAID-Copy array coupled to the parent array.

v

The uncoupled RAID-Copy array that now contains a copy of the logical volume.
Note that in the copy, all names start with fs.

Although the purpose of this job is to copy the logical volume lv_B, by default the
ssa_make_copy command has copied the complete contents of hdisk hd_1, which
includes the logical volume lv_A. The logical volume fslv_A cannot be accessed,
however, because its loglv is on hdisk hd_2 and has not been copied. If a logical
volume has its loglv on a separate hdisk, the copy of that logical volume can be
accessed only if the hdisk that contains the loglv is also copied.
