volume manager clone feature

Hi,

We have Veritas-5.0MP3 installed on a 2 node cluster and user requires volume manager clone feature. If I upgrade to 5.1 version will the clone feature comes under it by default or do we need to install the clone license seperately. Please help.

Thanks in advance,

rsathithan

  • Check the o/p of:

    vxdctl license | grep "Array Snapshot Integration Feature"

    If 'Array Snapshot Integration Feature' is listed then array-level clones will work with VxVM.

  • Hi, you need give detail information  about  clone feature,  snapshot or  disk array level clone?

     

    In 5.1sp1, there is keyless feature. You can enable any keyless license you need.

  • Thanks..ill chk with user about exact requirement and let you guys know shortly.. Thanks all for your responses..

  • All,

    I installed 5.1 sp1, and still i dont see "Array Snapshot Integration Feature" in vxdctl licese output.. Do I need to install other license to activate it.. current vxdctl license output is

     

    bash-3.00# vxdctl license
