•
00 is the LDCK number when the volume is a volume of an XP12000/XP10000 Disk Array
or USP/VM.
•
A journal group number for the local storage system ending in [M] indicates the journal group
is in a 3DC configuration with three XP Continuous Access Journal sites (e.g., 01 [M]).
To save information in a text file:
1. If necessary, follow the instruction in “Reviewing the Pair Operation Window” (page 177) to
filter information in the list.
2. In the Pair Operation window ( “Pair Operation Window” (page 122) ), click Export.
A message appears and asks if you want to save volume pair information in a file.
3. Click OK to close the message.
A window opens and prompts you to save a file.
4. Enter the name of the file, and then click Save.
A message appears when XP Continuous Access Journal finishes saving the file.
5. Click OK to close the message.
The export processing stops if Subsystem or an LDKC is selected in the tree, and you click
Cancel in the window that appears during export processing.
Creating a Pair of Data Volumes (Paircreate)
Using the Paircreate window, the administrator of the primary storage system must create pairs of
a primary data volume and a secondary data volume. When creating a pair, the administrator
can specify options for initial copy activities.
Before creating one or more pairs, the administrator must make sure that:
•
The volumes to be used as secondary data volumes are offline to all hosts.
•
Ports have already been configured (see “Configuring Port Attributes” (page 144) ).
•
The primary storage system is associated with the secondary storage system (see “Establishing
the Relationship Between Primary and Secondary Storage Systems (Add DKC)” (page 147) ).
After all these points are confirmed, the administrator of the primary storage system can follow the
described in this section to create a pair of a primary data volume and a secondary data volume.
Note that the administrator of the secondary storage system cannot perform the following operation.
1. Ensure that the Remote Web Console main window is in Modify mode.
For detailed information about how to do this, see the HP XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web
Console User Guide.
2. Ensure that the Pair Operation window is displayed (see “Pair Operation Window” (page 121) ).
3. In the tree, select a port or a host group.
4. In the list, select and right-click the volume that you want to use as a primary data volume.
•
Volumes with the icon are already used as primary data volumes.
•
You can select and right-click more than one volume to create more than one pair at one
time. Choose all the secondary data volumes from the same secondary storage system.
5. Select Paircreate.
The Paircreate window ( “Paircreate Window” (page 182) ) opens.
6. In DKC, specify the secondary storage system.
