Cloning a Volume
You can also use the cloning process in recovery scenarios. For more information, see
Gateway is Unreachable And You Want to Recover Your Data (p. 332)
.
Cloning from a Volume Recovery Point
The following procedure shows you how to clone a volume from a volume recovery point and use that
volume.
To clone and use a volume from an unreachable gateway
1. Open the AWS Storage Gateway console at
https://console.amazonaws.cn/storagegateway/home
.
2. On the AWS Storage Gateway console, choose
Create volume
.
3. In the
Create volume
dialog box, choose a gateway for
Gateway
.
4. For
Capacity
, type the capacity for your volume. The capacity must be at least the same size as the
source volume.
5. Choose
Clone from last recovery point
and select a volume ID for
Source volume
. The source
volume can be any cached volume in the selected AWS Region.
6. Type a name for
iSCSI target name
.
The target name can contain lowercase letters, numbers, periods (.), and hyphens (-). This target
name appears as the
iSCSI target node
name in the
Targets
tab of the
iSCSI Microsoft initiator
UI
after discovery. For example, the name
target1
appears as
iqn.1007-05.com.amazon:target1
.
Ensure that the target name is globally unique within your storage area network (SAN).
7. Verify that the
Network interface
setting is the IP address of your gateway, or choose an IP address
for
Network interface
.
If you have defined your gateway to use multiple network adapters, choose the IP address that
your storage applications use to access the volume. Each network adapter defined for a gateway
represents one IP address that you can choose.
If the gateway VM is configured for more than one network adapter, the
Create volume
dialog box
displays a list for
Network interface
. In this list, one IP address appears for each adapter configured
for the gateway VM. If the gateway VM is configured for only one network adapter, no list appears
because there's only one IP address.
