=head1 DESCRIPTION The B command makes a copy of a volume with a new name. It is equivalent to B followed by B, but doesn't require the volume be stored locally by the client. =head1 CAUTIONS =include fragments/volsize-caution.pod =head1 OPTIONS =over 4 =item B<-id> > Specifies either the complete name or volume ID number of a read/write volume. =item B<-fromserver> > Identifies the file server machine where the source volume resides. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see L. =item B<-frompartition> > Names the partition where the source volume resides. Provide the full partition name (for, example, B) or one of the abbreviated forms described in L. =item B<-toname> > The complete name of the new volume to create. =item B<-toserver> > Identifies the file server machine to which to copy the volume. Provide the machine's IP address or its host name (either fully qualified or using an unambiguous abbreviation). For details, see L. =item B<-topartition> > Names the partition to which to copy the volume. Provide the full partition name (for, example, B) or one of the abbreviated forms described in L. =item B<-offline> Leaves the new volume flagged as off-line in the volume database. =item B<-readonly> Flags the new volume as read-only in the volume database. =item B<-live> Copies the live volume without cloning. This is normally not necessary and causes the volume to be kept locked for longer than the normal copy mechanism. =include fragments/vos-common.pod =back =head1 OUTPUT This command has no output unless C<-verbose> is specified or there is an error. =head1 EXAMPLES The following example makes a verbose copy of the C volume named C in the cell C. The volume and copy both reside on C of C. % vos copy test server1 a test2 server1 a -cell localcell -verbose Starting transaction on source volume 536870921 ... done Allocating new volume id for clone of volume 536870921 ... done Allocating new volume id for copy of volume 536870921 ... done Cloning source volume 536870921 ... done Ending the transaction on the source volume 536870921 ... done Starting transaction on the cloned volume 536870926 ... done Setting flags on cloned volume 536870926 ... done Getting status of cloned volume 536870926 ... done Creating the destination volume 536870927 ... done Setting volume flags on destination volume 536870927 ... done Dumping from clone 536870926 on source to volume 536870927 on destination ... done Ending transaction on cloned volume 536870926 ... done Starting transaction on source volume 536870921 ... done Doing the incremental dump from source to destination for volume 536870921 ... done Setting volume flags on destination volume 536870927 ... done Ending transaction on destination volume 536870927 ... done Ending transaction on source volume 536870921 ... done Starting transaction on the cloned volume 536870926 ... done Deleting the cloned volume 536870926 ... done Ending transaction on cloned volume 536870926 ... done Created the VLDB entry for the volume test2 536870927 Volume 536870921 copied from server1 /vicepa to test2 on server1 /vicepa =head1 PRIVILEGE REQUIRED The issuer must be listed in the F file on the machine specified with the B<-server> argument and on each database server machine. If the B<-localauth> flag is included, the issuer must instead be logged on to a server machine as the local superuser C. =head1 SEE ALSO L, L, L =head1 COPYRIGHT Copyright 2007 Jason Edgecombe This documentation is covered by the BSD License as written in the doc/LICENSE file.
