Cloning Save Sets

In addition to cloning all the save sets on a storage volume, you can clone individual save sets. ISM tracks these individual cloned save sets in the same way that it tracks the originals. The cloned save sets are subject to the same retention period as the original save sets and must be written to a volume that belongs to a clone pool. When the original save sets expire, so do the cloned save sets.

To clone a save set
  1. Mount a storage volume from the appropriate clone pool on a storage device.
  2. To display the save set IDs for a volume, use the following command: 
    ism_show -volume name
  3. To clone a save set, use the following command: 
    ism_clone -saveset ssid
    1. Specify one or more save set IDs.
    2. Specify the name of the clone pool.
  4. Click the Clone button in the toolbar or choose Save Set > Clone.
  5. Mount the selected storage volume and cloned volume.
