Storage Volume Configuration Navigator cannot perform configuration design and setup for RAID groups that include volumes other than open volumes, snap data volumes, and SDPVs. It can design and set up logical volumes for RAID groups only if they exclusively contain open volumes, snap data volumes and SDPVs.
Note that Storage Volume Configuration Navigator and ETERNUSmgr cannot change device configurations at the same time. Do not use ETERNUSmgr to change the device configuration from the time Storage Volume Configuration Navigator reads the device configuration data until the designed configuration is reflected to the actual device. If ETERNUSmgr has been used to change the device configuration, then perform the design process again, starting with reading the device configuration.
The table below shows the requisites for use of Storage Volume Configuration Navigator:
Configuration read | No requisites apply. | |
Configuration design Configuration settings | New | [If creating a RAID group] No requisites apply. [If creating a volume] Only open volumes can be created. Mainframe volumes, Snap Data Volumes, SDPVs, MVVs, MVV Concatenation and LUN Concatenation volumes, and Thin Provisioning Volumes cannot be created. |
Update | [If updating a RAID group] Design and setup is possible only if the RAID group exclusively contains only open volumes, snap data volumes, and SDPVs. Design and setup is not possible if the RAID group contains mainframe volumes, MVVs, or MVV Concatenation or LUN Concatenation volumes. Design and setup is not possible if the RAID group comprises a TPP. [If creating a volume in an existing RAID group] Volumes can be created for the RAID groups that meet the first condition above. Only open volumes can be created. Mainframe volumes, Snap Data Volumes, SDPVs, MVVs, MVV Concatenation and LUN Concatenation volumes, and Thin Provisioning Volumes cannot be created. | |
The table below lists the devices that can operate with Storage Volume Configuration Navigator and the target items. "A" indicates "Available", "N/A" indicates "Not Available".
