Fracture a clone to a specific driveletter

[dukkse]

Hey!!

We have a backup server connected to our SAN, that owns a couple of clone LUNs. Theese LUNs gets synched every night during afterhours, and then fractured so they can be backed up.

Only bad thing is that sometimes they do not keep the same driveletter as they normally have, which causes the backup to run a full backup since the drive is not the same.
Is there a way to fracture a clone to a specific drive or some 3rd party software to script it. All drives have different names so maybe a script to determine the name to set the drive letter??? Below is the script I use for fracturing the clones..

java -jar "C:\Program Files\EMC\Navisphere CLI\navicli.jar" -user admin -password xxxxxx -Address 10.21.163.xx snapview -fractureclone -name xxxxxxx_Clone -cloneid 0100000000000000 -o

Thanks
Daniel

There is no command to assign a specific drive letter. SnapView snapshots allow for this and is what is typically used for backups. SnapClones are generally used as "Business Continuance Volumes" BCV's or gold copy's. Have you looked at the admsnap command from the admsnap cli that you can install on your host?
