2 About Business Copy Operations
Business Copy is a storage-based hardware solution for duplicating logical volumes that reduces backup
time and provides point-in-time backup. The Business Copy primary volumes (P-VOLs) contain the original
data; the Business Copy secondary volumes (S-VOLs) contain the duplicate data. The user can choose to
make up to nine copies of each P-VOL using the Business Copy cascade function. And since each S-VOL
is paired with its P-VOL independently, each S-VOL can be maintained as an independent copy set that
can be split, resynchronized, and deleted separately from the other S-VOLs assigned to the same P-VOL.
Business Copy operations can be performed from the Remote Web Console computer using the Remote
Web Console, or from the UNIX/PC server host using HP RAID Manager software. For further information
on using the RAID Manager, see the HP StorageWorks XP RAID Manager User’s Guide. For information
on HP configuration services (configuring and performing Business Copy operations using storage
system SVP), contact your HP service representative.
