Mounting luns in a snapshot

A cool thing about snapshots and luns is the feature to create a lun clone from a snapshot. This can be used for testing purposes or for example for restoring files.


The command to create a clone is:


"toaster>lun clone create [clone_lunpath] [-o noreserve] -b [parent_lunpath] [parent_snap]"


Where:


[clone_lunpath] = the path to the lun clone

[-o noreserve] = Do not use any space on the filer (only for restores!)

-b [parent_lunpath] = The path to the source lun

[parent_snap] = The name of the snapshot
