Adin, That might work... I am not familiar with Xosoft. Is it host based replication? Is the target LUN owned by a host and is the data in a stable/consistent state? For instance with some replication tools that are synchronously/asynchronously replication devices, the target devices are 'owned' by the replication application and the data is not in a consistent state until you use the replication application to put the replicated blocks to a particular consistent point in time for host access. While you would be able, technically, to create a snap or clone of the replica on the remote array the data on the LUN may not be usable.  I would assume that Xosoft has some sort of replica access method to prepare the LUN for DR testing. If you put the LUN in that state then take a snap/clone of the LUN that should provide you a consistent point in time for data access.  Aran
 Hi I have two CX4 120 .The coustomer is running a CA replication software to replicate between the CX4 s .ie what ever data on LUN A on Clariion A is going to be available on LUN A on clariion B.Like mirror veiw. I am planning to take a snapveiw clone of the target lun and use it for Report genration purpose. My consern is   1.Is snap veiw going to work with the third party replication software (CA Xosoft) 2.Where i have to install the admsnap on the source server  SQL 1 . 3.Is this the way done when a mirror veiw target LUN is cloned Thanks in Advance[IMAGE]
