NOTE:
•
While copy processing is in progress, do not perform Read/Write operations to volume set as the
copy pair’s P-VOL.
• To perform Read/Write operations to the volume set as the S VOL after setting the copy pair, cancel
the copy pair.
1. On the Flex Copy XP pane, select External Volumes (lower right in the pair list).
2. In the CU tree, select the CU number of the external LU to be the P-VOL. The selected CU’s volume
appears in the P-Vol column of the pair list. An # appears next to the internal LU number where the
external LU is mapped.
3. In the P-Vol column of the pair list, right-click an external LU that is not set as a copy pair, and select
Create Pair. The Pair Volume Setting pane appears ( Figure 23 ).
In the pair list, you can select multiple external LUs. The Pair Volume list on the Pair Volume Setting
pane displays the external LUs selected in the pair list.
4. In the Pair Volume list, select the external LU to be copied to the local array volume from the P-Vol
column. You can select multiple external LUs.
5. In the Candidate Volume list, select the local array volume you want to set as the target volume
(S-VOL).
The capacity of the S-VOL (local array volume) must be the same as the P-VOL selected in the Pair
Volume list. When selecting multiple external LUs in the Pair Volume list, you must select the same
number of S-VOLs in the Candidate Volume list as external LUs selected in the Pair Volume list.
6. Click Set. Volumes selected in the Candidate Volume list appear in the S-Vol column in the Pair
Volume list.
When selecting multiple volumes, they appear in the S-Vol column in the same order as in the
Candidate Volume list. When the number of the volumes selected in the Pair Volume list and the
number of the volumes selected in the Candidate Volume list are different, the Set button is not
available. Select the same number of volumes in the Pair Volume and Candidate Volume lists.
7. Click OK. The Pair Volume Setting pane closes, and the Flex Copy XP pane appears.
Settings appear in blue and italics in the pair list. The contents of the setting appear in the Preset list.
To check a setting’s details, right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Detail. To modify the
copy pair’s setting, right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Modify. To cancel the setting,
right-click the setting in the Preset list, and select Delete.
8. Click Apply. The Copy Type Setting pane ( Figure 25 ) appears.
9. Set the Copy Type and Copy Pace, and click OK. A confirmation message appears.
10. Click OK. The copy pair is set and the copy pair’s status appears in the Status column of the pair list.
To refresh the displayed status during copy processing, click Refresh ( ) on the Command View XP or
XP Remote Web Console main pane.
When an error occurs during the copy operation, the failed setting and an error message appears in
the Preset list. To check the error message, right-click the failed setting, and select Detail.
Copying data in the local array volume to an external LU
Before starting copy operations, you must map the external LU you want to set for the S-VOL as an internal
LU so it is ready for use. For instructions, see the HP StorageWorks External Storage XP user guide.
1. On the Flex Copy XP pane, select Internal Volumes (lower right in the pair list).
2. In the CU tree, select the CU number of the local array volume to be the P-VOL. The selected CU’s
volume appears in the P-Vol column of the pair list. An # appears next to the internal XP LDEV number
where the external LU is mapped.
3. In the P-Vol column of the pair list, right-click a volume that is not set as a copy pair, and select Create
Pair ( Figure 25 ). The Pair Volume Setting pane appears ( Figure 23 ).
In the pair list, you can select multiple local array volumes. In the Pair Volume list on the Pair Volume
Setting pane, the local array volumes you selected in the pair list appear.
