Protecting logical volumes against Continuous Access XP and BC XP operations
When Continuous Access XP and BC XP copy data, data on the copy destination volume (also known as
secondary volume) is overwritten. If a volume containing important data is specified as a secondary
volume by mistake, you could lose important data. LUN Security XP Extension can protect you from this
type of data loss.
If you assign the Read Only or Protect attribute to a logical volume, Continuous Access XP, BC XP, and
other business application software cannot write data to that logical volume.
To prohibit Continuous Access XP and BC XP from copying data to a logical volume, but not prohibit other
write operations to the same logical volume, ensure that the logical volume has the Read/Write attribute,
and set the volume so it cannot be specified as a secondary volume (a copy destination volume) for
Continuous Access XP or BC XP operations.
Protecting Read/Write logical volumes from Continuous Access XP and BC XP operations
NOTE:
This procedure does not work if a logical volume is already used as a secondary volume (S-VOL)
for Continuous Access XP or BC XP.
1.
In the LUN Security XP Extension pane, select a CU image from the tree. The volume list displays a list
of logical volumes in the selected CU image.
In the S-Vol column, volumes labeled Enable can be specified as a secondary volumes.
2.
Right-click a logical volume, select S-Vol, and select Disable. The logical volume appears in blue and
