2.2 Access volume settings

When using the Copy command via SAN method, a logical volume that can be accessed from the CCM Server is needed in ETERNUS Disk storage system. One logical volume with any size of ETERNUS Disk storage system must be assigned to CCM Server as the access volume.

The settings procedure for the access volume is explained below.

For specifying the access volume manually when ETERNUS Disk storage system is registered.
- For Windows
  1. Allocate a logical volume to be set up as the access volume to the CCM Server.
    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 a logical volume to be set up as the access volume to the CCM Server.
    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 a logical volume to be set up as the access volume to the CCM Server.
    The allocated logical volume is recognized as a disk.
  2. Initialize the disk in MBR (DOS) or GPT disk format.
Note
The allocated logical volume as the access volume must not be included in the backup target for Advanced Copy.
For specifying the access volume automatically when ETERNUS Disk storage system is registered.
Allocate a logical volume to be set up as the access volume to the CCM Server.
The allocated logical volume is recognized as a disk.
After specifying the access volume automatically, check that the specified access volume is not included in the backup target for Advanced Copy. If the access volume is included in the backup target for Advanced Copy, change the access volume by executing "acarray change (ETERNUS name and access volume for ETERNUS Disk storage system change command)".
