In this recipe, we will learn how to clone vSphere's virtual machine on Cisco UCS Server using HP 3PAR's Physical Copy.
Assume that you have already installed VMware vSphere host on one Cisco UCS B200 M3 which is connected to HP 3PAR 7200 Storage. The virtual machines are running one virtual volume. The following diagram shows the details:
In this recipe, we will learn how to create a physical copy on HP 3PAR 7200. HP 3PAR's physical copy feature duplicates all the data from a base volume to a destination volume. The base volume is the original volume that is copied to the destination volume. The physical copy on the destination volume remains available if the original base volume becomes unavailable. The following table lists the information of each component for HP 3PAR physical copy operation:
