Hi,

    We have a plan to migrate a 180+TB of database using CopyCluster same # of source node to same # target nodes.  Question which came up after the initial CopyCluster issued, snapshot taken and database restored.  After the first CopyCluster completion, if we run another CopyCluster command would it just restore delta data to target or would it retore the whole database again.

 

     Cause reading one of the bullet points in the documentation lists

          "If you run copycluster multiple times, the copy is incremental."

 

     Any clearification on this would be great....

 

Thanks

Yes it is incremental. It will only copy data missing since you kicked off the Copy Cluster. It will verify all the files but only copy those that are missing on the target cluster.
