Deleting Virtual Volumes
To delete V-VOL(s):

If the mode is already changed to Modify, you can skip this step. For information on to change
the mode, see the HP StorageWorks XP24000 Remote Web Console User’s Guide.
2. In the V-VOL group tree in the V-VOL window, select and right-click the V-VOL group which
contains the V-VOL(s) you want to delete.
A pop-up menu is displayed.
3. Select the Delete V-VOL Group command from the pop-up menu.
A confirmation message is displayed asking if it is OK to delete the selected V-VOL group.
4. Click OK.
The icon of the selected V-VOL group changes to the icon which indicates the deleting process.
5. Click Apply.
A confirmation message is displayed asking if it is OK to apply the setting to the storage system.
6. Click OK.
The confirmation message closes and the deletion of the V-VOL group is applied to the subsystem.
Note: You cannot delete the V-VOL if it is used as the S-VOL of the XP Snapshot pair. To delete the V-VOL
that is used as the S-VOL, first you need to delete that pair.
Creating XP Snapshot Pairs
Use the paircreate command of the RAID Manager to create XP Snapshot pairs. To create XP Snapshot
pairs, the following are required.
• Specify a volume that meets the requirements in Table 13 on page 25 as a P-VOL
• Specify a volume that meets the requirements in Table 14 on page 26 as an S-VOL
• Specify the same size volumes as a P-VOL and S-VOL
• When you use a volume that is already used as the P-VOL of another pair for the P-VOL of the
new pair, specify the same pool for the pairs which share the P-VOL
For details about the paircreate command, see the HP StorageWorks XP RAID Manager User’s Guide.
Storing Snapshot Data
Use the pairsplit command of the RAID Manager to store snapshot data in the pool. You can store 64
snapshot data at most per P-VOL. To store snapshot data, the pair status must be PAIR.
Note : When a P-VOL is paired with two or more volumes, make sure that none of the pairs is in
COPY(RS-R) status.
