Romeo,

I need to keep snapshots so vol copy is out.  Also, it will still use the internal loopback adapter.  What I am trying to do is see if I can get faster throughput than the loopback adapter within the same controller.  I will definitely let you know what the final outcome is.  Thanks for the advice.

If you do not need snapshots then maybe vol copy will do what you need.

vol copy can copy snapshots as well. From 7.2.6.1 vol man page,

vol copy start [ -S | -s snapshot ] source destination

              Copies all data, including snapshots, from one vol-
              ume to another.  If the -S flag is used,  the  com-
              mand  copies  all snapshots in the source volume to
              the destination volume.  To  specify  a  particular
              snapshot  to  copy, use the -s flag followed by the
              name of the snapshot.


 Though I'm not sure this would be any faster than a snapmirror.

Andre, I'd be interested to hear what your outcome of this eventually is.

Thanks,
