•
Changing access attributes for many logical volumes at once
•
Applying the same access attributes for multiple storage systems
•
Changing access attributes according to a volume usage
For example, you can change access attributes for daytime and nighttime. For an example of
Volume Retention Manager spreadsheet usage, see
“
Volume Retention Manager Spreadsheets Use Example
You can set access attributes for all or for specified logical volumes (LDEVs) in a LDKC. For details on
Volume Retention Manager spreadsheets, see “

Interoperability with other Products
This section explains notes on using Volume Retention Manager with other products.
HP StorageWorks XP Volume Security
•
If a logical volume is secured by Volume Security, you must ensure that the logical volume has the
Read/Write attribute. If you still want to assign another access attribute to the logical volume, you
must use Volume Security to remove security from the logical volume.
•
If a logical volume has the Read Only attribute or the Protect attribute, you must not use Volume
Security to secure the logical volume. If you still want to use Volume Security to secure the logical
volume, you must assign the Read/Write attribute to the logical volume.
Performance Monitor and HP StorageWorks XP Auto LUN Software
Some program products are likely to start automatically at the time specified by the user. For example,
if an Auto LUN user or a Performance Monitor user specifies the time for starting the monitor, the
monitor will automatically start at the specified time.
If any program product that can start automatically is enabled, you must do one of the following:
•
Perform Volume Retention Manager operations when the program is not running
•
Cancel the setting of the program start time
TrueCopy for Mainframe (Synchronous and Asynchronous) and Universal
Replicator for Mainframe
•
It is not recommended to assign an access attribute to a logical volume that is in use by TrueCopy
for Mainframe or Universal Replicator for Mainframe. If you assign an access attribute to such a
volume, the job may end abnormally. If you still want to assign an access attribute to such a
volume, you must assign the same access attribute to both the main volume (M-VOL) and the remote
volume (R-VOL).
•
When creating a TrueCopy for Mainframe or Universal Replicator for Mainframe pair and using
a read-only volume as the main volume (M-VOL), use a remote volume (R-VOL) on a storage system
on which Volume Retention Manager is enabled. If the R-VOL must be on a storage system on
which Volume Retention Manager is not enabled, you must do either of the following:
• Change the access attribute of the M-VOL to Read/Write
• Disable Volume Retention Manager on the main site
•
If you use TrueCopy for Mainframe or Universal Replicator for Mainframe to create a pair, the
main volume (M-VOL) and the remote volume (R-VOL) will have the same access attribute. Even if
you suspend or delete the pair, access attribute for these volumes will not change.
