6. Click Yes to continue; otherwise, click No. If you clicked Yes, the volume copy operation starts. While
the operation is in progress, the destination volume is offline and its type is shown as "standard*". If
you unmounted a snapshot to copy its modified data, wait until processing is complete before you
remount it. If the task succeeds, the destination volume's type becomes standard and the volume
appears in the Configuration View panel.
7. Optionally map the volume to hosts.
To schedule a volume copy task
1. In the Configuration View panel, right-click a volume and select Provisioning > Create Volume Copy.
2. In the main panel, select Scheduled.
3. Set the options:
• New Volume Prefix. Optionally change the default prefix to identify volumes created by this task.

modified data in the copy. Otherwise, the copy will contain only the data that existed when the
snapshot was created.
• Start Schedule. Specify a date and a time in the future for the schedule to start running.
• Date must use the format yyyy-mm-dd.
• Time must use the format hh:mm followed by either AM, PM, or 24H (24-hour clock). For

than two minutes.
