PRIMECLUSTER GDS (hereinafter referred to as GDS)/SynfinityDISK is software whose main function is mirroring disk units.
AdvancedCopy Manager can backup and replicate the SDX objects of GDS/SynfinityDISK.
SDX objects are virtual resources managed by GDS/SynfinityDISK, and they include classes, groups, disks, volumes, and slices.
AdvancedCopy Manager can backup and replicate SDX objects in units of logical volumes or slices.
The format used to specify a device name in AdvancedCopy Manager is different depending on whether units of logical volumes or units of slices are to be used. Specify a device name as follows:
/dev/sfdsk/<class-name>/dsk/<volume-name>
/dev/sfdsk/<class-name>/dsk/<volume-name>:<DEVNAM-value-of-sdxinfo>
The class name is class1, the volume name is volume1, and the DEVNAM value of sdxinfo is c1t0d10.
/dev/sfdsk/class1/dsk/volume1
/dev/sfdsk/class1/dsk/volume1:c1t0d10
Note
PRIMECLUSTER GDS 4.1A30 or later and PRIMECLUSTER GDS Snapshot 4.1A30 or later are required to perform separate operations for each logical volume.
Operation in units of logical volumes and operation in units of slices at the same time on a single Managed Server is not possible. Note that for cluster operations, operating in units of logical volumes or in units of slices is possible in separate Managed Server transactions.
For details on backup of SDX objects, refer to "3.8 SDX Object Operations". For details on replication of SDX objects, refer to "6.8 SDX Object Replication".
Note that the software versions and levels vary in accordance with the environment at the installation destination system. Refer to the relevant software manuals for details.
