The copy security function makes it possible to perform ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager copies between virtual disks in the same virtual enclosure.
By grouping virtual enclosures, copies can be performed between only virtual disks in virtual enclosures in the same group.
A group of virtual enclosures that are subject to ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager copy security are referred to as a "copy security group".
Note
The copy security function can only be used with ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager copies.
This function does not apply to the VSC migration function or the VSC replication function.
The copy security function is explained below using the example in the following figure.
There are four virtual enclosures: Virtual Enclosure A, Virtual Enclosure B, Virtual Enclosure C and Virtual Enclosure D.
There are virtual disks in each virtual enclosure.
Virtual Enclosure A and Virtual Enclosure B have been registered with Copy Security Group A.
Copy Security Group A has been registered with Virtual Enclosure C.
Copies can be made between Virtual Disk A and Virtual Disk B (which are in Virtual Enclosure A and Virtual Enclosure B respectively, which are both registered in Copy Security Group A) and Virtual Disk C in Virtual Enclosure C.
However, copies cannot be made between Virtual Disk A and Virtual Disk B (which are in Virtual Enclosure A and Virtual Enclosure B respectively, which are both registered in Copy Security Group A)" and Virtual Disk D in Virtual Enclosure D.
