5.4.3 Setting device information

Setting device information involves registering a transaction volume as the backup source and a backup volume as the backup destination.

This process can be carried out using either GUI operations or commands. For information on the operation method using GUI, refer to "Set up of volume type" in the "ETERNUS SF AdvancedCopy Manager GUI User's Guide".

For information on registration of transaction volume and backup volume using commands, refer to swstdevinfoset (Device information setting command). In addition, to display the registered volume information, execute swstdevdisp (Device usage status display command).

Note

A suspended transaction volume cannot be changed to be used for a different purpose.
A suspended backup volume cannot be changed to be used for a different purpose.

Point

When the device information of a suspended backup volume is displayed, "Backup (used)" is displayed in the Device-Mode field.
