System operation example

Figure 18

shows an example of the data backup system operation using Flex Copy XP.

In

Figure 18

, backup data from the external array in the Branch Office is obtained in the local array

installed in the Head Office.

Figure 18

Obtaining backup data from the Branch Office to the Head Office

In this example, the online backup system operation is made possible using Flex Copy XP on the local

array with Business Copy XP on the external array. The concentrating backup system configuration is also

possible by connecting multiple external arrays to one local array.

pairresync

(see

Figure 13

for the relationship between the

command and pair status.)

When you do not specify the

-restore

option

parameter:
Copy processing from the P-VOL to the S-VOL

executes. After copy processing completes, the

P-VOL and S-VOL statuses change to PAIR.

When you specify the

-restore

option parameter:

Copy processing from the S-VOL to the P-VOL

executes. After copy processing completes, the

P-VOL and S-VOL statuses change to PAIR.

You can specify the copy pace using the

-c <size>

option parameter. Specify one of the

following values:
1 or 2: Slower
3: Medium
4-15: Faster
If you specify Slower, the effect on host I/O

decreases because of the copy processing’s slow

pace. If you specify Faster, copy processing

completes in a short time period. If you omit this

option, Medium is set.

pairevtwait

Waits for completion of pair processing and checks the

status.

pairmon

Obtains the pair status transition of each pair and the

errors.

pairvolchk

Acquires the volume attribute.

raidscan

Checks the connection configuration of the local and

external arrays.
