2.7 Adding Copy Pairs

Add copy pairs to the copy groups that have been created.
Copy pairs are strings that define copy source and destination logical volumes.

Figure 2.4 Copy Pair Format

*1: Specify the hexadecimal starting with "0x" (ex, "0x1" or "0x0001")

Use the following procedure to add copy pairs.

  1. Check the logical volume numbers for the copy source and destination that are added as a copy pair.

    • Checking the logical volume number of the copy source

      If using the AdvancedCopy Manager CCM function to check the correspondence between the OS device name and the logical volume number, execute the following, depending on the server.

      1. Check the operating OS.

        Refer to "4.10.2 acgetvolinfo (Logical Volume Information Display Command)" for the operating OS.

      2. Execute the acgetvolinfo command to check the correspondence between the OS device name and the logical volume number.

    • Checking the logical volume number of the copy destination

      It is recommended to not connect the copy destination logical volume to any server.

      Execute the acinq lv command with the -free option on the CCM Server to check a logical volume number that is not connected to the server.

    Note

    When including a logical volume of a remote ETERNUS Disk storage system in a copy pair, confirm the logical volume number of the object using ETERNUS Web GUI.

  2. Execute the acpair add command to add the copy pair to a copy group.

    Execution example for making the copy group "GRP1" shown in "Figure 2.5 Adding Copy Pairs" is as follows.

    [Execution example]

    > acpair add -g GRP1 -p ET001/0x25:ET001/0x29
    Successful completion.
    
    > acpair add -g GRP1 -p ET001/0x26:ET001/0x30
    Successful completion.
    
    > acpair add -g GRP1 -p ET001/0x27:ET001/0x31
    Successful completion.
    
    > acpair add -g GRP1 -p ET001/0x28:ET001/0x32
    Successful completion.
    

    In the case when the copy type is SnapOPCP (SnapOPC+), the execution example for making the copy group "GRP2" shown in "Figure 2.5 Adding Copy Pairs" is as follows.

    [Execution example]

    > acpair add -g GRP2 -p ET001/0x33:ET001/0x35
    Successful completion.
    
    > acpair add -g GRP2 -p ET001/0x33:ET001/0x36
    Successful completion.
    
    > acpair add -g GRP2 -p ET001/0x34:ET001/0x37
    Successful completion.
    
    > acpair add -g GRP2 -p ET001/0x34:ET001/0x38
    Successful completion.

  3. Check the logical volume numbers of the copy pairs that have been added.

    Execute the acgroup detail command to display information about ETERNUS Disk storage system, and check that the copy pairs have been added using the specified logical volume numbers.

    [Execution example]

    > acgroup detail -g GRP1
    
    Copy Group Name : GRP1
    Copy Group Type : OPC
    Disk Array Name : ET001 (00ETERNUSDXM##ET44S20A####HK000104######)

    ET001/0x28:ET001/0x32
