/dev/(r)disk/disk# (# is the disk instance number)
/dev/(r)dsk/c#t#d# (c# is the controller instance number, t# is the target number, and d# is the LUN number
When HP-UX 11i v3 is used as a Storage Server, AdvancedCopy Manager gives priority to using new format devices. If devices with conventional formats are used with AdvancedCopy Manager, the information collection mode must be changed before device information is collect or reflected to avoid the use of a new format device. Refer to stgxfwcmsetmode (Information collection mode setting command) for details.
Devices with the same format as the AdvancedCopy Manager information collection mode must be set for the physical disks comprising ordinary devices and LVMs, and the physical disks comprising VxVM.
For example, If the AdvancedCopy Manager information collection mode is "Conventional format device", the physical disks that comprise ordinary devices and LVMs and the physical disks that comprise VxVM must all be conventional format devices.
Disks that are larger than 2TB cannot be used with AdvancedCopy Manager. Therefore, operate AdvancedCopy Manager with disks that are less than 2TB.
