Usage:

python clone_and_update_view.py --view_name=<name_of_view> --clone_name=<cloned_view_name>

Connect to the Cohesity Cluster

First make sure that you are connected to a Cohesity Cluster.

cohesity_client = CohesityClient(cluster_vip=CLUSTER_VIP,
                                 username=CLUSTER_USERNAME, 
                                 password=CLUSTER_PASSWORD,
                                 domain=DOMAIN)

Note: Alternatively, you can set the above parameters in cohesity_management_sdk/configuration.py

Example Clone view

json_req = {"cloneViewName": clone_name, "sourceViewName": view_name}
resp = self.view_client.create_clone_view(body=json_req)
