Creating a Pair of Data Volumes
Using the Add Pair window, the administrator of the primary storage system must create pairs of
a primary data volume and a secondary data volume. When creating a pair, the administrator
can specify options for initial copy activities.
Before creating one or more pairs, the administrator must make sure that:
•
The volumes to be used as secondary data volumes are offline to all hosts.
•
Ports have already been configured (see
“Configuring Port Attributes” (page 139)
)
•
The primary storage system is associated with the secondary storage system (see
the Relationship between Primary and Secondary Storage Systems (Add DKC)” (page 142)
on
page
“Establishing the Relationship between Primary and Secondary Storage Systems (Add
)
After all these points are confirmed, the administrator of the primary storage system can follow the
procedure below to create a pair of a primary data volume and a secondary data volume. Note
that the administrator of the secondary storage system cannot perform the following operation.
1.
Ensure that the Remote Web Console main window is in Modify mode.
For detailed information about how to do this, see the HP XP24000/XP20000 Remote Web
Console User's Guide.
2.
Ensure that the Pair Operation window is displayed.
3.
In the tree, select a CU group number or a CU image number.

In the list, select and right-click the volume that you want to use as a primary data volume.
NOTE:
•
Volumes with the
icon are already used as primary data volumes.
•
You can select and right-click more than one volume if you want to create more than one
pair at one time. Note that you will need to choose all the secondary data volumes from
the same secondary storage system.
5.
From the pop-up menu, select Add Pair.
The Add Pair window appears (
).

In DKC, specify the secondary storage system.

Use the right drop-down list to specify an LDEV number.
NOTE:
If more than one primary data volume is specified in the list, you can specify secondary
data volumes in three ways. For detailed information, see the explanation about the Select
Other S-VOL(s) option later in this section.
