Recopy Virtual Disk Copy
Description
This command reinitiates a virtual disk copy operation by using an existing virtual disk copy pair.
NOTE: See Preparing Host Servers To Recopy A Virtual Disk.
CAUTION: Before you create a new copy of a source virtual disk, stop any data access (I/O)
activity or suspend data transfer to the source virtual disk and (if applicable, the target disk) to
ensure that you capture an accurate point-in-time image of the source virtual disk. Close all
applications, including Windows Internet Explorer, to make sure all I/O activity has stopped.
NOTE: Removing the drive letter of the associated virtual disk(s) in Windows or unmounting the
virtual drive in Linux helps to guarantee a stable copy of the drive for the virtual copy.
