Understanding TimeFinder/Clone operations for storage group clone sessions

Clone copy sessions enable you to create clone copies of a source volume or storage group on multiple targets.

Storage group clone sessions

To create a clone of a storage group, run the Protect Storage Group wizard. For more information, see Protect storage groups wizard.

The following management commands are supported for storage group level actions:

Establish—Establish storage group clone sessions
Restore—Restore storage group clone sessions
Split—Split storage group clone sessions
Terminate—Terminate storage group clone sessions
Set Mode—Perform set mode operations on storage group clone sessions

The source and target storage groups must have the same non-gatekeeper device count.
