Creating Thin Image pairs and defining them in snapshot or consistency groups using RAID Manager

You can create pairs and define the pairs in a snapshot group or in a consistency group. Define pairs to consistency groups to perform pair tasks on all of the pairs within the group. This task describes how to do this using RAID Manager.

NoteIf the host is down, the RAID Manager command might be rejected and the pair not defined in the group. In this case, you can use Device Manager - Storage Navigator to create the pair and assign it to a group.

Procedure

  1. Create the Thin Image pair and define the pair in a snapshot or consistency group. To do this using RAID Manager, run the raidcom add snapshot command.

    NoteDefine pairs that share the same P-VOL in different snapshot groups.

The following is an example of using the RAID Manager raidcom command to create a pair specifying the P-VOL (LDEV#10:10), the S-VOL (LDEV#20:20), the pool (SnapPool00) in the snapshot group (db1), and the consistency group (CTG):

raidcom add snapshot -ldev_id 0x1010 0x2020 -pool SnapPool00 -snapshotgroup db1 -snap_mode CTG
