NOTE: To add all pairs in the list, click Apply on the ShadowImage main window. The Cancel button
closes the Add Pair Dialog window without changing the settings.
If you want to add new SI390 pairs and then split them immediately so that you can access the T-VOLs as
soon as possible, use the Split Pair operation instead of the Add Pair operation to establish and split new
pairs at the same time (see ” Splitting ShadowImage Pairs ” on page 54 for instructions).
To add one or more new SI390 pairs:
1. Verify that the appropriate T-VOL(s) is/are offline.
2. From the ShadowImage main window, click the CU image or LDEV in the Tree View box to filter the
volumes displayed in the Volume List box.
3. Select the S-VOL(s) for the new pair(s), right-click to display the pop-up menu, and then click Add Pair to
open the Add Pair Dialog window.
NOTE: Do not select any reserved volumes.
4. Set the initial copy pace for all pairs being added: Slower, Medium, or Faster.
5. Verify that the Add Pair Dialog window displays the appropriate S-VOL(s). If you want to remove any
volumes from the list, select the volume(s), right-click to display the pop-up menu, and then click Delete.
6. Select the T-VOL(s) for each S-VOL as follows:
a. Click the S-VOL in the Add Pair Dialog window.
b. Click the CU in the CU list, select the Reserve check box to display reserved volumes, and then click
the T-VOL.
c. Click Set to create (add) the T-VOL to the selected S-VOL. The T-VOL is now displayed next to the
selected S-VOL.
NOTE: You can select an unreserved volume as the T-VOL. When you create the pair, the
XP128/XP1024/XP10000/XP12000 changes the reserve attribute to “reserved” automatically.
d. To add a second and/or third T-VOL to the same S-VOL, repeat step 6b - step 6c to add each T-VOL
to the selected S-VOL. Each pair to be created is displayed separately in the list of pairs in the Add
Pair Dialog window.
7. Repeat step 6 until all necessary pairs are displayed. Click Change to replace a T-VOL, click Set to add
a T-VOL, and use the Delete command to remove pairs.
8. When the Add Pair Dialog window displays the new pair(s), click OK to reflect all pairs (settings) in the
list to the Preset Volume List box on the ShadowImage main window.
9. From the ShadowImage main window, click Apply to create the pair(s).
When the initial copy operation(s) start, the ShadowImage main window shows the new pairs with
pending status and the progress (%) of the initial copy operation(s).
10. Click the Refresh button ( ) to monitor the progress of the initial copy operation(s).
Splitting ShadowImage Pairs
In addition to displaying volume and pair information for the volume(s) and/or pair(s) selected on the
ShadowImage main window, you can use the Split Volume Pair window to split existing SI390 pairs. The
Split Volume Pair window can also be used to simultaneously add and split new SI390 pairs (see ” Adding
and Splitting Pairs ” on page 56). To open the Split Volume Pair window, select volume(s) or pair(s) in the
Volume List box on the ShadowImage main window, right-click to display the pop-up menu, and then click
Split Pair.
