Installing and Uninstalling XP Snapshot

This section describes the procedure for installing and uninstalling XP Snapshot.

Installing XP Snapshot

The installation procedure for XP Snapshot is described below.

Install additional shared memory for differential tables.

2.

Install additional shared memory for the V-VOL management area.

3.

Install Business Copy, which is the prerequisite program product of XP Snapshot.

Notes

:

Please call HP technical support to install additional shared memory for the V-VOL management

area. The shared memory for XP Snapshot and the shared memory for XP Thin Provisioning

must be installed separately.

Once you install additional shared memory for the V-VOL management area, you cannot uninstall

it partially. To uninstall the additional shared memory for the V-VOL management area, you need

to uninstall the whole shared memory that was added for the V-VOL management area.

Skip step

1

if the shared memory for differential tables is already installed.

Steps

2

and

3

are interchangeable.

Skip step

3

if Business Copy is already installed to the storage system.

Since the total capacity of XP Snapshot P-VOLs and pools will be considered as the capacity used

by XP Snapshot, you need to purchase enough license capacity for them.

Uninstalling XP Snapshot

The uninstallation procedure for XP Snapshot is described below.

1.

Delete all XP Snapshot pairs.

2.

Delete all pools.

3.

Delete all V-VOLs.

4.

Uninstall XP Snapshot.

For detailed information about the procedures for deleting the pairs, pools, and V-VOLs, see

Performing XP Snapshot Operations

” on page 51.

Starting XP Snapshot

After you have enabled the feature for the Remote Web Console and prepared for XP Snapshot

operations, you are ready to start up XP Snapshot. However, since XP Snapshot does not have its own

starting menu, you need to start up Business Copy and HP StorageWorks XP LUN Expansion (LUSE) / HP

StorageWorks XP Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) in order to use XP Snapshot.
To start Business Copy or LUN Expansion (LUSE) / Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) and display the window you need:

1.

Display the Remote Web Console main window.

For information about how to display the Remote Web Console main window, see the HP

StorageWorks XP24000 Remote Web Console User’s Guide.

2.

Click Go and then Business Copy or Volume Manager on the menu bar of the Remote Web

Console main window.

Names of the windows which you need for XP Snapshot operations will be displayed in the

submenu.

3.

Click the name of the window you want to display.

Business Copy or LUN Expansion (LUSE) / Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) starts up, and the window

whose name you clicked in the submenu will be displayed.
