Creating the schedule for volume sets
When you create a schedule to remote snapshot a volume that has associated volumes, the system
automatically creates remote snapshots for each associated volume. For information about volume
sets, see the HP StoreVirtual Storage User Guide.
The volume that you select when you create the schedule becomes the “owning” volume and the
schedule displays (O) next to it. Check that the Volume Set box displays all of the volumes that you
want to snapshot. It is possible that the owning volume is not aware of all associated volumes. If
it is not, select a volume that is aware of all associated volumes, and create the schedule there.
NOTE: If you have a schedule to create remote snapshots of a volume and you add a volume to
the volume set using the application, the system cannot update the volume set information. You
must delete the schedule and create a new one to reflect the current volume set.

1. In the navigation window, select the primary volume.
2. Click the Schedules tab.
3. Click Schedule Tasks, and then select New Schedule to Remote Snapshot a Volume.
