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]
[If creating a volume]
|
Update | [If updating a RAID group]
[If creating a volume in an existing RAID group]
| |
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".
