About Copy/Mirror/Migrate Operations

Copy - Copies data from source volume to destination volume. Changes made to the source volume during the copy process are copied to the destination volume. Copy does not dynamically update the destination volume after the copy is complete.

Mirror - Mirror dynamically updates the destination volume when the source volume changes. The source and destination volumes are kept synchronized.

Copy/Migrate - Migrate is the same as copy, except that when the copy is finished, all volume-server mappings are moved to the destination volume. The copied data (and its mappings) now reside on the destination volume. If Delete After Migrate is selected, the source volume is deleted after the migrate has been completed. If Reverse Mirror After Migrate is selected, a Mirror is created from the destination volume back to the source volume after the migrate has been completed.
