40 Flex Copy XP copy operations
• CU list: Used to select the CU number of the volume you want to specify as the S-VOL. The number of
CUs displayed in the list depends on what you specified. The maximum number of CUs displayed is
32.
• Set button: Sets a copy pair. Select a volume to be the P-VOL in the Pair Volume list, select the volume
to be the S-VOL in the Candidate Volume list, and click Set. The S-VOL selected in the Candidate
Volume list is added to the S-Vol column in the Pair Volume list, and the row appears in blue and
italics ( Figure 24 ). This indicates that the copy pair is set. For more information about setting a copy
pair, see ” Copying data in an external LU to a local array volume ” on page 40 and ” Copying data in
the local array volume to an external LU ” on page 41.
• Release button: Cancels the copy pair setting. When the copy pair is set in the Pair Volume list, this
button is available. When you select the copy pair in the Pair Volume list and click Release, the
selected copy pair is released. The volume that appeared in the S-Vol column is deleted from the Pair
Volume list, and displayed in the Candidate Volume list.
• OK button: Closes the Pair Volume Setting pane, and returns to the Flex Copy XP pane. Settings
specified in the Pair Volume Setting pane appear on the Flex Copy XP pane.
• Cancel button: Cancels settings specified in the Pair Volume Setting pane, and returns to the Flex Copy
XP pane.
Copy Type Setting pane
The Copy Type Setting pane appears when you set the copy pair on the Pair Volume Setting pane, and
click Apply on the Flex Copy XP pane. You can use the Copy Type Setting pane to set the copy type and
copy pace.
When you click Apply, one Copy Type Setting pane appears, even though multiple copy pair settings are
set in the Preset list (see ” Preset list ” on page 37). Therefore, the same setting for the Copy Type Setting
pane is applied to all copy pairs set in the same Preset list. To specify a different setting for each copy
pair, you must apply the setting each time you set a copy pair and complete the copy pair setting
operation.

• Copy Pace: Used to select the copy pace. You can select Medium, Slow, or Faster. If you select Slow,
you can minimize the impact of Flex Copy XP operations on I/O performance. If you select Faster,
copy processing finishes more quickly.
• Copy Type: Select the copy type for the copy pair from the following:
• Copy: Copy processing for the copy pair you set starts as soon as you click OK on the Copy Type
Setting pane.
• No Copy: Copy processing for the copy pair does not start, even though you click OK on the Copy
Type Setting pane. Only the copy pair’s setting is available. To start copy processing, you must
operate the copy pair using RAID Manager XP.
Copying data in an external LU to a local array volume
Before starting copy operations, you must map the external LU to be copied as an internal LU so it is ready
for use. For more information about setting an external LU, see the HP StorageWorks External Storage XP
user guide.
