Remote copy Test

[hedijaiet]

hi;
we have 2 3par 7200 with remote copy software , we have configuring the remote copy group and now we have 3 VVs replied from source site to backup site.
how can i export the backup VVS ( on the bakup site with RO access) to one host on backup site to check it?
can i take a physical copy to the backup VVS (on the backup site) to change the RO access to RW?
and if i will stop the replcation group the backup VVS change acces automaticaly from RO to RW?

You can take a R/W snap shot of the base volume on the target end and present that the vm host. If you implement vmware SRM that is basically what it does. When you need to test or run the VM in the target site it creates a RO snap then a R/W snap of that to present to the hosts and scans the datastore in.

thank you fpr your replay, how can i take a RW Virtual copie of my base VVS (RO mode) its by default when i have to create a virtual copie of my base volume on the target or its an advanced setting on the Virtual copie creation.
