Snapshots and Domains
NOTE: Virtual domains require the Virtual Domains Software license. Contact your local HP
representative for further details.
As with standard systems, virtual copies and physical copies can also be created in systems using
virtual domains. Domain snapshot creation and modification does not differ from snapshot creation
and modification in systems not using domains. Domain snapshot creation and modification is
limited to users with Super and Edit rights who belong to the all domain, and to users with Edit
rights who belong to a specified domain. Snapshots inherit the domain of their parent volumes.
• Virtual copies can be:
Created. See “Creating a Virtual Copy” (page 102) for instructions.◦
◦ Promoted. See “Promoting a Virtual Copy” (page 103) for instructions.
◦ Modified. See “Modifying a Virtual Copy” (page 103) for instructions.
◦ Removed. See “Removing a Virtual Copy” (page 104) for instructions.
• Physical copies can be:
Created. See “Creating an Offline Physical Copy” (page 105) for instructions.◦
◦ Resynchronized. See “Resynchronizing a Physical Copy” (page 106) for instructions.
◦ Promoted. See “Promoting a Physical Copy” (page 107) for instructions.
Moving Snapshots
Snapshots can be moved in or out of a domain using the movetodomain command. This action
is restricted to Super users in the all domain.
NOTE: If a snapshot is moved in or out of a domain, the snapshot’s base volume is also moved.
For further instructions see “Moving Domain Objects to Another Domain” (page 66).
