Recognizing devices from the host server

Complete these steps to restart a host server, such as HP-UX or Solaris, or to run commands to V-VOLs to recognize devices from the host server.

Procedure

1. Create the Thin Image pairs.

2. Split the pair to store the snapshot data using one of the available methods.

3. Ensure that the V-VOL recognized by the host server is in "PSUS" status.

4. Complete one of the following:

   • Boot or reboot the host server.
   • Run the command for recognizing devices.

• Storing snapshot data

  From a P-VOL, a maximum of 1,024 snapshots can be stored. Use one of these two methods to store Thin Image snapshot data.

• Creating V-VOLs for Thin Image S-VOLs

  Depending on the types of pairs with which you are working, there are two options for creating a V-VOL for a Thin Image S-VOL. For pairs with the snapshot attribute (snapshot pairs) for which the cascade attribute is enabled (cascaded pairs) or for clone pairs, create a DP-VOL. You can use a non-cascaded snapshot tree (using only root volumes and leaf volumes) even when you create snapshot pairs that are cascaded. For information about creating a DP-VOL, see the Provisioning Guide for your storage system. For snapshot pairs for which the cascade attribute is disabled, create a Thin Image V-VOL.
