Figure 6-7. Creating a Virtual Copy
NOTE: If you do not wish to name the virtual copy set, click OK. The created virtual copy is identified by a date and time stamp.
4(Optional) You can either accept the default name based on the time when the virtual copy is created, or you can enter a name of your choosing. The virtual copy name cannot exceed 32 characters.
5When creating the virtual copy, you have the choice of changing the Ensure Application Consistency option (set by default) to specify whether or not the newly created virtual copy should adhere to the data standards used by supported application. Selecting this option ensures that the data can be accessed using VM tools that support these formats but may increase the amount of time required to create and access the virtual copy as well as the amount of space that is required for the data.
NOTE: Application consistency is not supported on Exchange Databases that have been configured using Physical Compatibility RDM LUNs.
