Creating XP Snapshot Pairs

Use the paircreate command of the RAID Manager to create XP Snapshot pairs. To create XP Snapshot

pairs, the following are required.

Specify a volume that meets the requirements in

Table 13

on page 25 as a P-VOL

Specify a volume that meets the requirements in

Table 14

on page 26 as an S-VOL

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

When you use a volume that is already used as the P-VOL of another pair for the P-VOL of the

new pair, specify the same pool for the pairs which share the P-VOL

For details about the paircreate command, see the HP StorageWorks XP RAID Manager User’s Guide.

Storing Snapshot Data

Use the pairsplit command of the RAID Manager to store snapshot data in the pool. You can store 64

snapshot data at most 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, make sure that none of the pairs is in

COPY(RS-R) status.
