Cloning a Volume
You can also use the cloning process in recovery scenarios. For more information, see Your Cached
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.
