2.2.4 Access Path Settings

With AdvancedCopy Manager CCM, there must be a logical path between the CCM server and the ETERNUS disk storage systems so that the former can issue advanced copy instructions to the latter. This logical path is referred to as an "access path".To create an access path, the ETERNUS disk storage systems must have a logical volume for control purposes.

Allocate one logical volume within the ETERNUS disk storage systems to the CCM server for access path use.

The settings procedure for the access path is explained below.

For specifying the access path manually when ETERNUS disk storage systems registered.
- [For Windows]
  1. Allocate to the server the ETERNUS logical volume to be set up as the access path.
    The allocated logical volume is recognized as a disk.
  2. Initialize the disk in MBR (DOS) or GPT disk format.
  3. Create a partition, and allocate a drive letter.
- [For Solaris]
  1. Allocate to the server the ETERNUS logical volume to be set up as the access path.
    The allocated logical volume is recognized as a disk.
  2. Initialize the disk as a disk with EFI label or VTOC label.
- [For Linux]
  1. Allocate to the server the ETERNUS logical volume to be set up as the access path.
    The allocated logical volume is recognized as a disk.
  2. Initialize the disk in MBR (DOS) or GPT disk format.
For specifying the access path automatically when ETERNUS disk storage systems registered. [Excluding Linux 5 for Intel Itanium]
Allocate to the server the ETERNUS logical volume to be set up as the access path.
The allocated logical volume is recognized as a disk.
