Using logical volumes and volume groups

You can present storage volumes (virtual disks) to enabled hosts and subsequently use a host's
logical volume manager to create and manage host volume groups and logical volumes.

The following job commands are available when using logical volumes and volume groups. For
more information on jobs, see the HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Job Command
Reference

Using raw disks

The replication manager discovers raw host volumes (raw disks) on enabled hosts. In general, you
can work with raw host volumes just as you would with other host volumes, except that you should
not use replication manager mounting features to attempt to mount them. You can also work directly
with the raw storage volumes (virtual disks) that underlie raw host volumes.

Raw disks are listed in the Host Disk Devices tab along with disk devices that contain file systems.
Raw disks are not displayed as host volumes. Raw disks can be replicated from the Host Disk
Devices tab by creating a container for the disk device.

Job templates and commands for raw disks

The following job templates can be used with raw host volumes and storage volumes. For more
information on jobs, see the HP P6000 Replication Solutions Manager Job Command Reference.

Job templates for raw disks

Replicate host disk (raw) devices, mount (raw) to a host

Replicate host volume group, mount components to a host

Replicate raw storage volumes, mount (raw) to a host

Most job templates which include mounting steps can be adapted for use with raw host volumes
by removing the mounting steps.
