Storage enclosure plus the expanded or cascaded enclosures. This list does not
arrange the logical drives under the disk array to which they belong nor under the
enclosure in which they are located.

Creating a LUN Clone

A LUN clone is an exact copy of the original LUN or logical drive, including all the
data it contains, at one point in time. Use a LUN clone as a backup or to migrate
a LUN from one system to another.
A LUN clone has the same capacity, stripe size, read and write policies as the
orignal LUN. However, the LUN clone can be a different RAID level. The choice
of RAID levels depends on the disk array. And if you have multiple disk arrays,
you can create the LUN clone on a different disk array than the original LUN.
You can create a LUN clone immediately using this procedure, or schedule LUN
cloning to run automatically at another time.
