Using external LUs for Business Copy XP operations

Figure 17

shows an example of using an external LU for Business Copy XP operations. The mapped

external LU is set as the Business Copy XP pair's S-VOL, and the local array internal LDEV is set as the

Business Copy XP pair's P-VOL. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks Business Copy XP

user guide for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.

Figure 17 Example of Business Copy operations

1.

Use External Storage XP to map a volume in the external array to an internal LDEV of the local array.

CAUTION:

Set the IO Suppression mode to Disable.

Select the mapped volume's emulation type as required. If you select an open-system emulation

type (such as OPEN-V), go to step 2. If you select a mainframe-system emulation type (such as

3390-3), go to step 3.
For more information, see

Mapping external LUs (Add LU)

.

2.

If you set an open-system emulation type when mapping the volume, the mapped volume's status

automatically becomes Normal. However, the volume-formatting process is not automatically

executed. To optionally format the mapped volume, use the Custom Volume Size (CVS) function.

For instructions, see the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide

for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
Go to step 4.

3.

If you set a mainframe-system emulation type when mapping the volume, the mapped volume's status

becomes Blockade. To format the volume, use the CVS function. To restore the volume, perform the

Write to Control Blocks operation if you mapped a volume for which the data area has already

been zero-formatted on the external array side. For instructions, see the HP StorageWorks LUN

Configuration and Security Manager XP user guide for the XP12000/XP10000/SVS200.
Go to step 4.

4.

Set the Business Copy XP pair's P-VOL and S-VOL.

Using external LUs for Snapshot XP operations

Figure 18

shows an example of using an external LU for Snapshot XP operations. The mapped external LU

is set as a pool-VOL for the Snapshot XP pair.
