5. Click OK. The confirmation message closes, and the V-VOL group is deleted in the array.
NOTE:
You cannot delete the V-VOL if it is used as a XP Snapshot pair's S-VOL. To delete a V-VOL
used as an S-VOL, first delete the pair.
Creating XP Snapshot pairs
Use the XP RAID Manager paircreate command to create XP Snapshot pairs. To create XP Snapshot
pairs, the following are required:
• Specify a volume that meets the requirements in Table 1 on page 11 as a P-VOL
• Specify a volume that meets the requirements in Table 2 on page 12 as an S-VOL
• Specify the same size volumes as a P-VOL and S-VOL
• Specify the same pool for pairs that share a P-VOL when you use a volume that is already used
as another pair's P-VOL for the new pair's P-VOL
For more information about the paircreate command, see the HP StorageWorks XP RAID Manager
user guide.
Storing snapshot data
Use the XP RAID Manager pairsplit command to store snapshot data in the pool. You can store a
maximum of 64 snapshot data 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, ensure that none of the pairs are in COPY(RS-R)
status.
You can use the pairsplit command to store one snapshot data at a time, but you cannot specify the
snapshot data ID. For more information about the pairsplit command, see the HP StorageWorks XP
RAID Manager user guide.
NOTE:
XP Snapshot does not support Quick Split mode. Therefore, even if you specify Quick Split mode,
Quick Split mode does not take effect.
Restoring XP Snapshot pairs
Use the XP RAID Manager pairresync -restore command to restore XP Snapshot pairs. The XP Snapshot
pair must be in PSUS status when you restore the pair.
When the restoration is complete, the pair status changes to PAIR. For more information about the
pairresync -restore command, see the HP StorageWorks XP RAID Manager user guide.
