NOTE: In the following sections, the type of virtual copy being created, mounted, or modified is dependent on whether a VM or datastore is selected from the navigation tree. For example, if you have selected a datastore from the navigation tree, subsequent create, mount, or modify actions performed will affect the selected datastore until a different datastore or VM is selected.

NOTE: The ability to manage virtual copies provided by 3PAR Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere requires the 3PAR Recovery Manager for VMware vSphere and Virtual Copy licenses.
