AdvancedCopy Manager can back up or replicate volumes under the control of VxVM (referred to as VxVM volumes in this document) in the following units:
Physical disk that constitutes a volume group
For details on backup of a subordinate volume of VxVM, refer to the section titled "3.9 VxVM Volume Operation". For details on replication of a subordinate volume of VxVM, refer to the section titled "6.9 VxVM Volume Operation".
The VM disks (physical disks) on which a sub-disk used by a logical volume exists are used as the management units.
Figure 1.3 Example of VxVM Configuration
Since AdvancedCopy Manager copies an entire VM disk, not only the shared area that is a sub-disk but also the public region containing VxVM-internal configuration information is copied.
When backup or replication is performed, therefore, the integrity of VxVM configuration information must be maintained during copying.
Specify a device name as follows:
/dev/vx/dmp/hdisk#
Note
Operations are not supported under naming convention operations based on enclosures in VxVM.
