EMC sells a product called SanCopy that does this.
-------------------------------------------------------------

The "big picture":

We are looking at the SANCopy product now.  There are two CLARiiON
arrays, a production host attached to primary with SYBASE 12.0 DB (raw
partitions) mirrored across to a secondary array using MirrorView.  The
2-nd array is for disaster recovery.  DB is quiesced on production so
that a Snapshot can be taken off the mirror on the 2-nd array.  Database
is releasehold.  SANCopy is then used to copy the Snapshot to (refresh)
4 different  areas:
- LUN's on primary array that will be attached to DB reporting server
(host) 
- LUN's on primary array that will be attached to two DB test systems
(host) , and,
- LUN's on the secondary array that a host can attach to run DBCC's
SANCopy is a new product, release early March '03, we're working
through the issues, not sure what really works yet.  SANCopy could solve
the problem of a LUN not being able to be associated with both a Mirror
and a Clone group.  A big question mark is what needs to be done with
the SYBASE servers (states of) relative to connecting to the copies (can
they be in a quiesced state while the refresh happens or do they need to
be offline?).

Thanks
Dave

Subject: Snap Clone HowTo

Hello Everyone:

Slightly off topic.  We are in the process of trying to get a BCV 
Snap
of a selective Sybase databases (version 12.0) using Veritas and EMC
Clariion software and hardware (CX600) from one server to another. 
Has
anyone compiled a step by step process to accomplish this process?
Sybase servers are running on SUN, Solaris 7.  Enginerring White Paper
P/N BD51645/REV1 from EMC has basic info form  specifics are in short
supply.  Any direction or help would be appreciated.
