EMC STORAGE:TIME FINDER CLONING

CLONING DEVICES:-
Requirements:-
1)slect source and target devices
2)source & target devices size must be same may be differnt raids.
3)by using symclone we can perform clone operations.

==>create source and target files.

===>check device status.
# symclone -sid 3896 -f pairing_dev query
The Source device and the Target device do not form a Copy session
Device file 'pairing_dev' does not have any devices that are Clone source devices

1)Create symmetrix disk groups.
2)add devices in these disk groups.
3)perform clone operations.
