Creating a pair of data volumes (Paircreate)

Using the Paircreate pane, the administrator of the primary array must create pairs of primary and
secondary data volumes. When creating a pair, the administrator can specify options for initial
copy activities.

Before creating one or more pairs, the administrator must ensure that:

Volumes to be used as secondary data volumes are offline to all hosts.

Ports have already been configured (see

Configuring port attributes

).

The primary array is associated with the secondary array (see

Associating primary and remote

arrays and configuring logical paths (Add DKC)

).

After all these points are confirmed, the administrator of the primary array can use the following
procedure to create a pair of a primary and secondary data volume. The administrator of the
secondary array cannot perform this operation.

1.

Ensure that XP Command View Advanced Edition Software or XP Remote Web Console is in
Modify mode. For more information, see the HP StorageWorks XP Command View user guide
for XP Disk Arrays
or the HP StorageWorks XP Remote Web Console user guide for
XP12000/XP10000/SVS200
.

2.

Display the Pair Operation pane.

3.

In the tree, select a port, host group, or iSCSI target.

4.

In the list, select and right-click the volume you want to use as a primary data volume.
