5 Working with Virtual Copies

This chapter explains how to use HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere to
manage Virtual Copies.

NOTE:

In the following sections, the type of Virtual Copy being created, mounted, or modified

is dependent on whether a VM or Datastore is selected from the navigation tree. For example, if
you have selected a Datastore from the navigation tree, subsequent create, mount, or modify
actions performed will affect the selected Datastore until a different Datastore or VM is selected.

NOTE:

The ability to manage Virtual Copies provided by HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software

for VMware vSphere requires the HP 3PAR Recovery Manager Software for VMware vSphere and
Virtual Copy licenses.
