Linux and LVM Configuration

A host cannot recognize both a P-VOL and its V-VOL at the same time. Map

the P-VOL and V-VOL to separate hosts.

Windows Server 2003/Windows 2000 and Dynamic Disk

Observe the following when using Windows Server 2003 dynamic disk:
• You cannot make a P-VOL and a V-VOL into a dynamic disk; however

you can use a P-VOL and a V-VOL as a dynamic disk.

• When using a V-VOL with a secondary host, insure that the pair status

is Split.

• A host cannot recognize both a P-VOL and its V-VOL at the same time.

Map the P-VOL and V-VOL to separate hosts.

• An LU, in which two or more dynamic disk volumes coexist, cannot be

copied.

• Do not use a dynamic disk function for volumes other than a V-VOL on

the secondary host side.
When copying, hide all the dynamic disks that exist on the primary side

using the raidvchkset –vg idb command. No restriction is placed on

the primary side. Hide all the dynamic disk volumes to be restored on

the primary side at the time of restoration.
