We have a requierement to clone the production snapshots, attach them to a intermediate SQL Server to anonymise data.
We then want to create snapshots ot these anonmised data SQL Server volumes and attach it to several other non-prods for testing and development.
I believe this should be achievable however want guidance on how I would go about doing this and if any pitfalls I should be carefull about.
Also I plan to do this using the HPE Powershell Toolkit so any guidance on where i can find examples scripts and commands will be highly appreciated.
Solved! Go to Solution.

SolutionHi,
Below I have provided a link to the Windows Integration Guide. The section entitled “Using the HPE Storage Toolkit PowerShell Cmdlets” provides all commands and syntax examples.
• Windows Integration Guide
In order to see some additional examples you can utilize the --Examples” open for each command, ie:
New-NSClone --Examples.
The clones are not meant to be used long term. The snapshot backed by the clone cannot be deleted until the clone is first taken offline and deleted first. It sounds like the clone is only being used for to anonymize data so not a major issue.
