Notes
• A backup ID and the -copy_group option cannot be specified at the same time.
• If neither the backup-ID option nor the -copy_group option is specified, the secondary volumes
of all copy groups managed by Application Agent will be targeted.
The RAID Manager instance used by Application Agent is specified in the RAID Manager-linkage
definition file (DEFAULT.dat) as HORCMINST=n. Of the two volumes defined as pair volumes in
a RAID Manager instance, the volume directly managed by the RAID Manager instance used by
Application Agent is the secondary volume.
• When a volume is concealed and the disk configuration is rescanned, an error message indicating
that a device has been removed is recorded in the Windows event log. HP recommends that you
delete the event log regularly.
• In an environment with Veritas Storage Foundation, Missing is displayed for disks when volumes
have been concealed for some of the disks in the disk group. Conceal volumes also for copy
groups with disks displayed as Foreign or Online.
• If this command is executed with the -detach option specified, take the physical volume offline
from all applications (close the volume). If you leave the volume online, the physical volume will
be forcefully concealed from the server even if applications are being used, which might result in
unexpected application problems.
• If the local volume is not mapped to the physical volume because, for example, the copy group
is concealed, the following limitations apply:
• When the command is executed with the -sigview option specified, the current disk signature
cannot be viewed. The output result of the command is displayed as --------.
• When the command is executed with the -sigset option specified, the disk signature cannot
be updated.
To display and update the current disk signature, the copy group must be displayed and the local
volume must be mapped to the physical volume.
• If the disk signature is updated with the -sigset option specified, execute the command again
with the -sigview option specified and make sure that the disk signature has been updated
properly.
Note that if the updated disk signature already exists on another volume, the disk signature might
be updated to a different disk signature set by Windows. If this happens, execute the command
by specifying both the -sigset option and the copy group of the physical volume whose disk
signature you want to update. Update the disk signature to a different value, making sure to avoid
duplicating another disk signature.
• If an attempt to update the disk signature is made with the -sigset option specified when the
disk signature format is different from the disk partition style, the KAVX5170-E error message is
displayed and the command will terminate with an error.
• If this command is executed with both the -sigview option and backup-ID specified, and the
disk signature format registered in the backup catalog is different from the current disk partition
style, the KAVX5171-E error message is displayed and the command will terminate with an error.
