CAUTION: Before you create a new copy of a source virtual disk, stop any data access (I/O)
activity or suspend data transfer to the source virtual disk and (if applicable, the target disk) to
ensure that you capture an accurate point-in-time image of the source virtual disk. Close all
applications, including Windows Internet Explorer, to make sure all I/O activity has stopped.
NOTE: Removing the drive letter of the associated virtual disk(s) in Windows or unmounting the
virtual drive in Linux helps to guarantee a stable copy of the drive for the virtual copy.

Parameters
Parameter Description
target
Name of the target virtual disk for which to
reinitiate a virtual disk copy operation. You must
put brackets ([ ]) around the target virtual disk
name. If the target virtual disk name has special
characters, you must also put quotation marks (" ")
around the target virtual disk name.
source
Name of the source virtual disk for which to
reinitiate a virtual disk copy operation. You must
put brackets ([ ]) around the source virtual disk
name. If the source virtual disk name has special
characters, you must also put quotation marks (" ")
around the source virtual disk name.
copyPriority
Specifies the priority that the virtual disk copy has
relative to host I/O activity. Valid entries are
highest, high, medium, low, or lowest.
NOTE: CopyPriority defines the amount of
system resources used to copy the data
between the source and target virtual disks of
a virtual disk copy pair. If you select the
highest priority level, the virtual disk copy uses
the most system resources to perform virtual
disk copy, which decreases performance for
host data transfers.
targetReadOnlyEnabled
Specifies whether the target virtual disk is write
enabled or read only. To be able to write to the
target virtual disk, set this parameter to FALSE. To
prevent writing to the target virtual disk, set this
parameter to TRUE.
