Deleting virtual volumes

about changing the mode, see the HP StorageWorks Command View XP User Guide for XP Disk Arrays

or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console User Guide for XP12000/XP10000.

In the V-VOL group tree on the V-VOL pane, select and right-click the V-VOL group containing the

V-VOLs you want to delete.

3.

Select Delete V-VOL Group. A confirmation message appears asking if it is OK to delete the selected

V-VOL group.

4.

Click OK. The selected V-VOL group’s icon changes to an icon indicating the deleting process.

Click Apply. A confirmation message appears asking if it is OK to apply the setting to the disk array.

Click OK. The confirmation message closes, and the V-VOL group is deleted in the disk array.

NOTE:

You cannot delete the V-VOL if it is used as a Snapshot XP pair’s S-VOL. To delete a V-VOL

used as an S-VOL, first delete the pair.

Creating Snapshot XP pairs

Use the RAID Manager

paircreate

command to create Snapshot XP pairs. To create Snapshot XP pairs,

the following are required:

Specify a volume that meets the requirements in

Table 1

on page 13 as a P-VOL

Specify a volume that meets the requirements in

Table 2

on page 14 as an S-VOL

Specify the same size volumes as a P-VOL and S-VOL

Specify the same pool for pairs that share a P-VOL when you use a volume that is already used as

another pair’s P-VOL for the new pair’s P-VOL

For more information about the

paircreate

command, see the HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP

User Guide.

Storing snapshot data

Use the RAID Manager

pairsplit

command to store snapshot data in the pool. You can store a

maximum of 64 snapshot data per P-VOL. To store snapshot data, the pair status must be PAIR.

NOTE:

When a P-VOL is paired with two or more volumes, ensure that none of the pairs are in

COPY(RS-R) status.

You can use the

pairsplit

command to store one snapshot data at a time, but you cannot specify the

snapshot data ID. For more information about the

pairsplit

command, see the HP StorageWorks RAID

Manager XP User Guide.
