Parameters

Parameter

Description

 

 

source

Name of an existing virtual disk to use as the

 

source virtual disk. You must put quotation marks ("

 

") around the source virtual disk name.

 

NOTE: You can use any combination of

 

alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and

 

underscores for the names. Command names

 

can have a maximum of 30 characters. If you

 

exceed the maximum character limit, replace

 

square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets (< >)

 

to overcome this limitation.

target

Name of an existing virtual disk to use as the target

 

virtual disk. You must put quotation marks (" ")

 

around the target virtual disk name.

 

NOTE: You can use any combination of

 

alphanumeric characters, hyphens, and

 

underscores for the names. Command names

 

can have a maximum of 30 characters. If you

 

exceed the maximum character limit, replace

 

square brackets ([ ]) with angle brackets (< >)

 

to overcome this limitation.

copyPriority

Specifies the priority that a virtual disk copy has

 

relative to host I/O activity. Valid entries are

 

highest, high, medium, low, or lowest.

 

NOTE: CopyPriority defines the amount of

 

system resources used to copy the data

 

between the source virtual disk and target

 

virtual disk of a virtual disk-copy pair. If you

 

select the highest priority level, the virtual disk

 

copy uses the most system resources to

 

perform virtual disk copy, which decreases

 

performance for host data transfers.

targetReadOnlyEnabled

Specifies whether the target virtual disk is write

 

enabled or read only. To be able to write to the

 

target virtual disk, set this parameter to FALSE. To

 

prevent writing to the target virtual disk, set this

 

parameter to TRUE.

copyType

Creates a virtual disk copy with or a snapshot

 

(legacy). Creating a virtual disk copy with a

 

snapshot (legacy) enables you to continue to write

 

to the source virtual disk while creating the virtual

 

disk copy. To create a virtual disk copy with a
