Hard Disk Copy
This section provides the procedure for copying a drive. This procedure applies when you intend to create a back up
before performing an upgrade or when you intend to replace a failing drive.
Disk copy is not allowed from a COD drive to a non-COD drive. See documentation on the A>L DMAPcommand
to understand how to determine the drive status.
The drive created in the disk copy procedure can ONLY be used in the same slot used by the source drive, and only
in the same message server. Ensure that the target drive is aspare. All contents of the target drive are overwritten in
the disk copy procedure.
If a non-COD drive is copied to a COD drive, COD storage equal to that used on the source drive must be enabled
in order for contents of the destination drive to be accessible when the procedure is complete. The copy will work
even without the authorization, but the message server will not function correctly until the necessary hours are
authorized. It is advisable to ensure that authorization is complete before the procedure is started.
