# Create a Clone Copy of a Storage group, The Target Storage Group will be
# created with all required volumes for the clone copy if it does not exist
# already.
# Using the Establish & Terminate Boolean value in the example removes the
# clone session leaving the source and target devices indepenent of
# each other, the default value of false will allow you to create
# differential copies, updating the data on target storage group volumes.

    establish_terminate=True)

# Close the session

# Close the session
