Therefore, you must create pools and pairs again after replacing the microprogram.

Combining Snapshot XP with other software products

You can create Snapshot XP pairs by sharing volumes with other products, such as Business Copy XP

or Continuous Access XP. In addition, you can create Snapshot XP pairs using volumes to which LUN

Security XP Extension or RAID Manager XP have assigned attributes.

A Business Copy XP and Snapshot XP pair cannot have the same mirror unit (MU) number. For example, if the Business Copy

XP pair’s MU number is 0, you cannot create a Snapshot XP pair whose MU number is 0 and whose P-VOL is also used

as a Business Copy XP P-VOL. Also, if the Snapshot XP pair’s MU number is 1, you cannot create a Business Copy XP pair

whose MU number is 1 and whose P-VOL is also used as a Snapshot XP P-VOL.

NOTE:

You need LUN Security XP Extension to set the Read Only attribute, Protect attribute, S-VOL Disable,

or VMA. For more information, see the

HP StorageWorks LUN Security XP Extension user guide

.

You need RAID Manager XP to set extents, Zero Read Capacity, or Invisible attribute. For more

information, see the

HP StorageWorks RAID Manager XP user guide

.

You can check if the volume has the Read Only attribute, Protect attribute, S-VOL Disable, VMA,

extents, Zero Read Capacity attribute, or Invisible attribute by accessing the LUN Security XP Extension

pane. For more information, see the

HP StorageWorks LUN Security XP Extension user guide

.

When Snapshot XP shares volumes with the software products shown in

Table 8

, some operations are

restricted according to the pair statuses.

Combining Snapshot XP with Business Copy XP

When the Snapshot XP P-VOL and Business Copy XP pair's volume are shared, the relationship between

the Business Copy XP pair status and Snapshot XP operations is shown in

Table 9

and

Table 10
