Overview of LUN Security XP Extension

Products that can start automatically at a specified time: Certain products, such as Auto LUN

Monitoring, start automatically at specified times. If a product that can start automatically is enabled,

you must perform LUN Security XP Extension operations when the program is not running or cancel the

program’s start time setting.

Local array copy software users:

NOTE:

The following information applies only if you want to set Volume Management Area

(VMA). You can set VMA only to logical volumes with an OPEN-V emulation type. For more

information, see ”

Setting VMA

” on page 27.

• When creating a Business Copy XP, Continuous Access XP, or Continuous Access XP Journal pair,

you can only use volumes without VMAs for both the P-VOL and S-VOL, or use volumes with VMAs

for both the P-VOL and S-VOL.

• For a Business Copy XP, Continuous Access XP, or Continuous Access XP Journal pair, if the P-VOL

and S-VOL contain a VMA, you can copy the access attribute and S-VOL Disable setting in the

VMA from the P-VOL to the S-VOL. The copied access attribute and S-VOL Disable setting do not

take effect on the S-VOL when the pair status is PAIR. To make the copied access attribute effective,

change the Business Copy XP pair status to PSUS, or change the Continuous Access XP or

Continuous Access XP Journal pair status to PSUS or SMPL. To make the copied S-VOL Disable

setting effective, change the Business Copy XP pair status to PSUS, or change the Continuous

Access XP or Continuous Access XP Journal pair status to SMPL. For more information about

changing pair statuses and copying access attributes, see the HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP

user guide, HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP user guide, or HP StorageWorks Continuous

Access XP Journal user guide for the specific array.

• Be careful about the license capacity when using volumes with VMAs or extents. For more

information about required license capacity for local array copy software when using volumes with

VMAs or extents, see ”

Cautions about license capacity

”.

CAUTION:

If you change a Business Copy XP pair status to PSUS and the S-VOL Disable setting

takes effect on the S-VOL, the pair cannot be resynchronized.

Cautions about license capacity

When using volumes with VMAs or extents for local array copy software, ensure that there is enough

license capacity. Otherwise, you might not be able to perform copy operations.
This section describes how to calculate the required license capacity for local array copy software when

using volumes with VMAs or volumes with VMAs and extents.

Calculating license capacity when VMA is set

To set access attributes on logical volumes with VMA that are specified as logical volumes of the pair of the

local array copy software, you need enough license capacity for the logical volume you are changing and

for other logical volumes forming the pair. In

, LUN Security XP Extension changes logical volume

A’s access attribute, which has a capacity of 2 GB. In this case, because logical volume A forms a pair
