XP Business Copy Operations
shows the use of an external volume for the XP Business Copy operation. The
mapped external volume is set as the S-VOL of the XP Business Copy pair, and the local storage
system internal volume is set as the P-VOL of the XP Business Copy pair. For details on XP Business
Copy, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Business Copy Software User Guide.
The procedure for the operation is as follows:
1.
Use XP External Storage to map a volume in the external storage system as an internal volume
of the local storage system.
You can select the emulation type of the mapped volume as you required. If you select the
emulation type for the open system (such as OPEN-V), go to step 2. If you select the emulation
type for the mainframe system (such as 3390-3), go to step 3.
For details on the mapping operation, see
“Mapping an External Volume Automatically”
.
2.
If you set the emulation type for the open system when you map the volume, the status of the
mapped volume automatically becomes Normal. However, the volume formatting processing
is not executed automatically. If you need to format the mapped volume, format the volume
using the VLL function.
For the volume formatting operation procedure, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000
Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) and Volume Shredder User Guide.
Go to step 4.
3.
If you set the emulation type for the mainframe system when you map the volume, the status
of the mapped volume becomes Blockade. Format the volume using the VLL function. Or if
you have mapped the volume for which the data area has already been zero-formatted on
the external storage system side, perform the Write to Control Blocks operation using the VLL
function to restore the volume.
For the volume formatting operation and Write to Control Blocks operation procedures, see
the HP StorageWorks XP24000/XP20000 Virtual LVI/LUN (VLL) and Volume Shredder User
Guide.
Go to step 4.
4.
Set the P-VOL and S-VOL of the XP Business Copy pair, as shown in
