Specifying the Source for the Copy

A source copy is a storage policy copy from which data is read and copied to secondary copy during auxiliary copy operations. By default, the source copy to all synchronous copies is a primary copy.

Before specifying the source copy, make sure that both the storage policy copies have same CommCell entities (clients, agents, subclients and so on) associated, or this copy has a fewer CommCell entities associated than the source copy.

Applies to: Synchronous Copy, Selective Copy, Parallel Copy, Deferred Copy, Spool Copy, and WORM Copy

Important

You cannot use a selective copy as the source for a synchronous copy.

Procedure

  1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Policies | Storage Policies | <Storage_Policy>.

  2. Right-click the appropriate storage policy copy and then click Properties.

  3. In the Copy Properties dialog box, click the Copy Policy tab, select the following settings and then click OK.

    1. Select the Specify Source for Auxiliary Copy check box

    2. From the list, select the storage policy copy.
