Template options

•

Number of volumes to replicate. Adds commands for each volume.

•

Suspend source before replication. Adds launch commands for interacting with an enabled
host. For example, to suspend and resume host application I/O.

•

Use snapclone instead of snapshot. Generates a template that uses preallocated snapclone
replication.

•

Include e-mail notification. Adds a command for e-mail notification of the job instance status.
See

SetNotificationPolicy

.

Considerations

•

Tru64 UNIX. When replicating virtual disks with AdvFS volumes that have heavy I/O, select
the option Suspend source before replication. See

Suspending I/O before replicating AdvFS

volumes

.

Example

This template was generated to replicate one storage volume. No other template options were
selected.
