13.1.8 Use in combination with ODX (Offloaded Data Transfer)

When using an ETERNUS Disk storage system that supports the Offloaded Data Transfer (hereinafter referred to as "ODX") function, ODX session starts within the ETERNUS Disk storage system by Windows Server 2012 Offloaded Data Transfer function when files are copied or transferred. However, Advanced Copy cannot be performed by AdvancedCopy Manager on the condition that a volume on which ODX session is running is taken as copy destination. For this reason, if Advanced Copy is performed by AdvancedCopy Manager on the condition that a volume containing the files or areas being copied or transferred by the Offloaded Data Transfer function is taken as copy destination, an error message is displayed and the command may terminate abnormally.

If the command terminates abnormally, check on the Web Console that no ODX session exists on the copy destination volume and then re-execute the command.

If the error is not resolved:

Review the volume to be copied or take either of the following procedures to temporarily prevent ODX session from running and then re-execute the command.

  • Disabling Windows Server 2012 Offloaded Data Transfer (ODX)

    Refer to the procedure released by Microsoft at the following URL for how to disable:

    http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj200627.aspx

    This setting affects only the servers on which the operation is performed.

  • Stopping the Offloaded Data Transfer function of the ETERNUS Disk storage system

    Refer to the ETERNUS Disk storage system manual for how to stop.
    This setting affects all the servers that use the ETERNUS Disk storage system.
