Copying Snapshot Metadata to the Replica Copy and Verifying Snapshot on Remote Array

An automatic auxiliary copy operation runs after the snapshot backup operation to copy the snapshot metadata to the replica copy. By default, the automatic auxiliary copy runs 90 minutes after the snapshot backup operation.

You must run the auxiliary copy operation in the following scenarios:

• To manually verify and record snapshot availability on the remote array.

• To browse the snapshot content of the replica copy before the automatic auxiliary copy operation runs.

Procedure

1. From the CommCell Browser, expand Policies > Storage Policies.

2. Right-click the storage policy, point to All Tasks, and then click Run Auxiliary Copy.

   The Auxiliary Copy Job Options dialog box appears.

3. In the Copy Selection area, select Select A Copy, and then from the Select A Copy list, select the replica copy.

4. Click OK.
