The following Array Copy Services are available:

Prepare a RAID Array Copy

Select this option if you want to make a copy of a RAID array. If the RAID
array is a member of an active volume group, select Prepare a Volume
Group, Logical Volumes, or Filesystems Copy
.

When this option is selected, an array selection menu is displayed, and is
followed by the Prepare a Copy menu that is shown in “Prepare a Copy” on
page 175.

Prepare Volume Group, Logical Volumes, or Filesystems Copy

Select this option if you want to copy a volume group or a part of a volume
group. You must select this option if you want to copy any part of an active
volume group. When this option is selected, a volume group selection menu is
displayed. When the volume group is selected, the ssa_make_copy script
selects disk drives to be used for the copy, and couples those disk drives to
each array in the volume group. To get more control over this process, use the
ssa_make_copy command directly from the command line or from in a shell
script.

For fast path, type
