SAP LaMa provisioning workflow - copy system
The following figure highlights the primary steps executed with the system copy workflow.
![This figure provides a timeline for the System Copy workflow. It contains the steps Storage Cloning, Prepare system, activate isolation, system rename, start system, import configuration, post copy automation, and deactivate system.](./../media/lama-ansible-image40.png)
In this chapter, we briefly discuss the differences for the system clone workflow and input screens. As you can see in the following image, nothing changes in the storage workflow.

-
The system copy workflow can be started when the system is prepared accordingly. This is not a specific task for this configuration, and we do not explain it in detail. If you need further information, review the SAP LaMa documentation.
-
During the copy workflow, the system is renamed, as must be specified in the first screen.
-
During the workflow, you can change the instance numbers.
Changing instance numbers has not been tested and might require changes in the provider script. -
As described, the Custom Clone screen does not differ from the cloning workflow, as is shown here.
-
As we already described, the remaining input masks do not deviate from the standard, and we do not go into them any further here. The final screen shows a summary, and execution can now be started.
After the copy process, the target instance is not enabled for the custom cloning process.

It must be adopted manually to run the pre-hook step during the system destroy process because a constraint is set and would prevent execution.
