PRIMECLUSTER GD is software whose main function is mirroring disk units.
AdvancedCopy Manager can backup and replicate the SDX objects of PRIMECLUSTER GD.
SDX objects are virtual resources managed by PRIMECLUSTER GD, 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 GD and PRIMECLUSTER GD Snapshot 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.
In an operation of a logical volume unit, the Storage Cluster Continuous Copy function is not available. When using the Storage Cluster Continuous Copy function, use an operation of a slice unit.
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.
