contents of configuration definition files, as well as the system configuration required to perform
operations on copy pairs that contain volumes for which virtual IDs have been specified, see the
HP P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite Software Administrator Guide.
4. For data migrations in Legacy mode, you cannot perform operations on resources for which vir-
tual IDs have been specified.
Displaying virtual ID information
Display Virtual ID information in the list of volumes to identify volume resources.
Tasks to complete beforehand:
• Identify the name of the target host or storage system.
1. On the Resources tab, select Hosts.
You can also select the target volume from the storage system:
On the Resources tab, expand the Storage Systems tree, select the volume for the target storage
system, and then display the list of volumes from Open-Allocated. Proceed to step 4.
2. Expand the tree and select an operating system.
3. From the list of hosts, select the target host.
4. From the volume list, click Column Settings and enable the display of virtual ID information, such
as Virtual LDEV ID, Virtual Port, and so on.
TIP:
After checking the virtual ID information for the volume, we recommend editing the volume label so
that the volumes can be identified from the virtual ID information, thus enabling you to identify the
target volumes from windows that do not display virtual ID information.
TIP:
Virtual ID information can also be displayed in the tables for Allocate volumes, Allocate like volumes,
Unallocate volumes, or Edit LUN Paths dialog boxes. If virtual IDs are set but you cannot set columns
in the tables in these dialog boxes, virtual ID information will be automatically displayed.
Virtual ID information is displayed in the list of volumes, thus enabling you to map the virtual ID with
the ID (physical ID) information assigned by the destination storage system.
Allocating volumes that have (or require) virtual IDs
You can allocate volumes to hosts that belong to resource groups being used for data migration that
use virtual IDs. You can also allocate volumes for which no virtual IDs are specified. In this case, such
volumes are assigned new virtual IDs. A resource group used for a data migration that uses virtual
IDs is the resource group specified for the storage system when migrating data, not a resource group
specified in HP StorageWorks P9000 Command View Advanced Edition Suite software.
Tasks to complete beforehand:
• Identify the name of the target host.
• Identify the volumes to be allocated, if manually selecting such volumes.
• Identify the necessary volume capacity and size, if allocating volumes by specifying conditions.
