You can assign secondary volumes to Thin Image Advanced pair snapshot data. The method for creating a new Thin Image Advanced pair and assigning an S-VOL to snapshot data is the same as creating a pair with a specified S-VOL. For details, see Creating Thin Image Advanced pairs. The following explains how to assign an S-VOL to snapshot data for an existing Thin Image Advanced pair.

  • You must have the Storage Administrator (Local Copy) role.
  • Thin Image Advanced pairs must be in the PSUS status.

Assigning secondary volumes using CCI commands

The following is an example of assigning the snapshot data of the P-VOL (LDEV number 10:10) in the snapshot group (db1) to a volume of LDEV number 20:00:

raidcom map snapshot -ldev_id 0x1010 0x2000 -snapshotgroup db1

The following is an example of assigning the snapshot data of the P-VOL (LDEV number 10:10, MU number 10) to a volume of LDEV number 20:00:

raidcom map snapshot -ldev_id 0x1010 0x2000 -mirror_id 10

Assigning secondary volumes using HDvM - SN

  1. In the Explorer pane, click Storage Systems, expand the storage system tree, expand Replication, and then click Local Replication.
  2. In the Local Replication window, select a P-VOL in the TI Root Volumes tab or a snapshot group in the Snapshot Groups tab.
  3. Click Operate TI Pairs.
  4. In the TI Pairs window, click More Actions > Assign Secondary Volumes.
    You can specify P-VOLs in Device Manager - Storage Navigator until the total number of snapshots reaches 32,768. In addition, you can specify snapshot groups until the total number of pairs reaches 32,768.
    Note:
    • When you assign an S-VOL, you cannot simultaneously specify both the P-VOL of a Thin Image Advanced pair and the P-VOL of a Thin Image pair. Specify the P-VOL of one pair or the other.
    • You cannot operate on both a Thin Image Advanced pair and a Thin Image pair by simultaneously specifying both the snapshot group containing the Thin Image Advanced pair and the snapshot group containing the Thin Image pair. Specify a snapshot group containing one pair or the other.
    • You cannot simultaneously specify and operate on both a Thin Image Advanced pair and a Thin Image pair. Specify one pair or the other.
  5. From the Available LDEVs table, select the LDEV you want to assign as the S-VOL, and then click Set.
    The selected LDEV is displayed in the Secondary Volumes column of the Selected Pairs table.
    Note:
    • The nondisruptive migration volumes do not appear in the Available LDEVs table.
    • If you select a capacity in Capacity, the Available LDEVs and Selected Pairs tables display the LDEVs that match the selected capacity.
    • If you select a row in the Available LDEVs table and a row in the Selected Pairs table and then click Set, you can configure a pair.
  6. Click Finish, and then confirm the settings.
  7. Accept the default task name or enter a unique name.
    You can enter up to 32 letters, numbers, and symbols, except the following:

    \ / : , ; * ? " < > |
