Chapter 8: Advanced Volume Operations 139
Copying a Volume (Off-line Copy)
Data from any volume type can be replicated offline using the CLI
command volume copy create. Off-line replication is faster than on-
line replication but both the source and destination volumes must be off-
line which can create an interruption of service to the volume host(s).
Because snapshot volumes are internal (off-line) volumes, this is a way of
copying a snapshot volume.
