Check volume protection status (only if volume protection is to be set)
Execute A.3.1 acinq lv (Logical volume information display command) with the -l option added to check the volume protection status.
This function is supported in Windows, Solaris, Linux 5 (for x86, for Intel64).
> acinq lv -a DX440 -l LV No LV Name LV Size LV Type RG No Encrypt Virtual Size Copy Inhibit ------ ------- ------- ------- ----- ------- ------------ ----------- 0x0001 1024M Open 4 - - Yes 0x0002 1024M Open 4 - - Yes 0x0003 1024M Open 2 - - - : |
Execution of first backup
Use "A.7.1 acopc start (OPC/QuickOPC copy start command)" to execute backups via QuickOPC.
For the first QuickOPC, execute "A.7.1 acopc start (OPC/QuickOPC copy start command)" without specifying the -diff option.
[Execution example]
> acopc start -g QuickOpcGroup DX440/0x1:DX440/0x3 # DATE : 2008/06/25 00:00:00 - << Differential OPC Started >> # From:BoxID=303045343030304d3323232323234534353053323041232323234b44343033303633393030342323/Olu=1/Adr_high=0/Adr_low=0/size_high=0/size_low=0 # To :BoxID=303045343030304d3323232323234534353053323041232323234b44343033303633393030342323/Olu=3//Adr_high=0/Adr_low=0 DX440/0x2:DX440/0x4 # DATE : 2008/06/25 00:00:02 - << Differential OPC Started >> # From:BoxID=303045343030304d3323232323234534353053323041232323234b44343033303633393030342323/Olu=2/Adr_high=0/Adr_low=0/size_high=0/size_low=0 # To :BoxID=303045343030304d3323232323234534353053323041232323234b44343033303633393030342323/Olu=4/Adr_high=0/Adr_low=0 Succeeded : 2 Failed : 0 |
Executing the first QuickOPC starts a tracking process as well as an OPC from the copy source volume to the copy destination volume.
Figure 3.1 What happens when the "acopc start" command is executed (for the first time)
Check the backup execution status
The execution status of the backup can be checked by using "A.7.2 acopc query (OPC/QuickOPC copy status display command)" in the same way as for backups via OPC.
[Execution example]
> acec query -g QuickOpcGroup Copy Group Name : QuickOpcGroup Copy Group Type: QuickOPC Disk Array Name : DX440 (00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104######) Source <=> Target SID OPC Status Copy Phase Copied Block --------- --- --------- ---- --------------- ------------------ ------------ DX440/0x1 ==> DX440/0x3 0x21 "OPC Executing" "Copying/Tracking" 6912 DX440/0x2 ==> DX440/0x4 0x22 "OPC Executing" "Copying/Tracking" 5760 |
Check the QuickOPC copy progress status
The QuickOPC copy progress status of the backup can be checked by specifying the -progress option for "A.7.2 acopc query (OPC/QuickOPC copy status display command)".
This function is supported in Windows, Solaris, Linux 5 (for x86, for Intel64).
[Execution example]
> acopc query -g QuickOpcGroup -progress Copy Group Name : QuickOpcGroup Copy Group Type : QuickOPC Disk Array Name : DX440 (00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104######) Source <=> Target Progress Copied Block Total Block --------- --- --------- -------- ------------ ----------- DX440/0x1 ==> DX440/0x3 1% 6912 1048576 DX440/0x2 ==> DX440/0x4 1% 5760 1048576
When the physical copy of QuickOPC finishes, only the tracking process will still be running.
Figure 3.2 What happens when the snapshot processing finishes
Check the tracking status
The tracking status can be checked using "A.7.2 acopc query (OPC/QuickOPC copy status display command)".
[Execution example]
> acopc query -g QuickOpcGroup Copy Group Name : QuickOpcGroup Copy Group Type: QuickOPC Disk Array Name : DX440 (00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104######) Source <=> Target SID OPC Status Copy Phase Copied Block --------- --- --------- ---- --------------- ---------- ------------ DX440/0x1 ==> DX440/0x3 0x21 "OPC Executing" "Tracking" 1048576 DX440/0x2 ==> DX440/0x4 0x22 "OPC Executing" "Tracking" 1048576 |
Execution of backup for the second or subsequent time
If the "A.7.1 acopc start (OPC/QuickOPC copy start command)" is executed with the -diff option specified while the tracking processing is running, only the differential data updated since the last OPC will be copied, which means that copies take less time to complete.
[Execution example]
> acopc start -g QuickOpcGroup -diff DX440/0x1:DX440/0x3 # DATE : 2008/06/26 00:00:00 - << Differential OPC Started >> # From:BoxID=303045343030304d3323232323234534353053323041232323234b44343033303633393030342323/Olu=1/Adr_high=0/Adr_low=0/size_high=0/size_low=0 # To :BoxID=303045343030304d3323232323234534353053323041232323234b44343033303633393030342323/Olu=3/Adr_high=0/Adr_low=0 DX440/0x2:DX440/0x4 # DATE : 2008/06/26 00:00:02 - << Differential OPC Started >> # From:BoxID=303045343030304d3323232323234534353053323041232323234b44343033303633393030342323/Olu=2/Adr_high=0/Adr_low=0/size_high=0/size_low=0 # To :BoxID=303045343030304d3323232323234534353053323041232323234b44343033303633393030342323/Olu=4/Adr_high=0/Adr_low=0 Succeeded : 2 Failed : 0 |

Check the restore execution status
The execution status of the restoration can be checked by specifying the -r option for "A.7.2 acopc query (OPC/QuickOPC copy status display command)".
[Execution example]
> acopc query -g QuickOpcGroup -r Copy Group Name : QuickOpcGroup Copy Group Type: QuickOPC Disk Array Name : DX440 (00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104######) Source <=> Target SID OPC Status Copy Phase Copied Block --------- --- --------- ---- --------------- ---------- ------------ DX440/0x1 <== DX440/0x3 0x42 "OPC Executing" "Copying" 974848 DX440/0x2 <== DX440/0x4 0x43 "OPC Executing" "Copying" 786432 |
Point
With backup and restoration operations that use QuickOPC, not all data on the logical volume, but only differential data that has been updated since the last OPC completed is copied. This means that both backups and restorations take less time to complete.
Protection settings can be set for a logical volume even when copy is in progress. Therefore, volume protection can be set again without waiting for completion of the restore process (physical copy completion).
Check the QuickOPC copy progress status
The QuickOPC copy progress status of the restoration can be checked by specifying the -r option and -progress option for "A.7.2 acopc query (OPC/QuickOPC copy status display command)".
This function is supported in Windows, Solaris, Linux 5 (for x86, for Intel64).
[Execution example]
> acopc query -g QuickOpcGroup -r -progress Copy Group Name : QuickOpcGroup Copy Group Type : QuickOPC Disk Array Name : DX440 (00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104######) Source <=> Target Progress Copied Block Total Block --------- --- --------- -------- ------------ ----------- DX440/0x1 <== DX440/0x3 93% 974848 1048576 DX440/0x2 <== DX440/0x4 75% 786432 1048576
