Parameter

Description

source

Name of an existing virtual disk to use as the source
virtual disk. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the
source virtual disk name.

NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric
characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names.
Command names can have a maximum of 30
characters. If you exceed the maximum character
limit, replace square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets
(< >) to overcome this limitation.

target

Name of an existing virtual disk to use as the target virtual
disk. You must put quotation marks (" ") around the target
virtual disk name.

NOTE: You can use any combination of alphanumeric
characters, hyphens, and underscores for the names.
Command names can have a maximum of 30
characters. If you exceed the maximum character
limit, replace square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets
(< >) to overcome this limitation.

copyPriority

Specifies the priority that a virtual disk copy has relative to
host I/O activity. Valid entries are highest, high,
medium, low, or lowest.

NOTE: CopyPriority defines the amount of
system resources used to copy the data between the
source virtual disk and target virtual disk of a virtual
disk-copy pair. If you select the highest priority level,
the virtual disk copy uses the most system resources
to perform virtual disk copy, which decreases
performance for host data transfers.

targetReadOnlyEnabled

Specifies whether the target virtual disk is write enabled
or read only. To be able to write to the target virtual disk,
set this parameter to FALSE. To prevent writing to the
target virtual disk, set this parameter to TRUE.

copyType

Creates a virtual disk copy with or a snapshot (legacy).
Creating a virtual disk copy with a snapshot (legacy)
enables you to continue to write to the source virtual disk
while creating the virtual disk copy. To create a virtual
disk copy with a snapshot (legacy), set this parameter to
online. To create a virtual disk copy without a snapshot
(legacy), set this parameter to offline.
If this parameter is not used, the virtual disk copy is

created without a snapshot (legacy).
