HP StorageWorks Continuous Access XP user guide for the XP10000/XP12000 (December 2005)

Continuous Access XP user guide for the XP10000/XP12000 39
NOTE: If you are using Command View XP, proceed with step 9. If you are using XP Remote Web
Console, no other actions are required.
9. When you are finished configuring this MCU, exit the Continuous Access XP main pane, and
disconnect the Command View XP management station from the disk array.
10.If needed, reconnect Performance Advisor to this disk array (running PA at the same time is not
supported).
11.Repeat step 4 - step 9 for each disk array that will function as a Continuous Access XP MCU. After you
configure MCUs, register RCUs, and configure Continuous Access XP async options and consistency
groups, you are ready to begin Continuous Access XP volume pair operations.
Combining Continuous Access XP with other data management operations
Continuous Access XP supports concurrent operations with the following data management functions:
• LU Size Expansion (LUSE). LUSE volumes can be assigned to Continuous Access XP pairs, if the P-VOL
and S-VOL have the same LU type and number of LDEVs. To perform LUSE operations on an existing
Continuous Access XP P-VOL or S-VOL, delete the pair first to return the volume to SMPL status.
NOTE: For more information about Volume Management, see the HP StorageWorks LUN
Configuration and Security Manager XP User Guide for the XP10000/XP12000.
• VSC. Custom volumes can be assigned to Continuous Access XP pairs if the S-VOL has the same
capacity as the P-VOL. If you need to perform VSC operations on an existing Continuous Access XP
P-VOL or S-VOL, delete the pair first to return the volume to SMPL status.
NOTE: For more information about Volume Management, see the HP StorageWorks LUN
Configuration and Security Manager XP User Guide for the XP10000/XP12000.
• HP Cache LUN XP. HP Cache LUN XP volumes can be assigned to Continuous Access XP pairs, and HP
Cache LUN XP operations can be performed on Continuous Access XP P-VOLs and S-VOLs.
NOTE: For more information about Cache LUN XP, see the HP StorageWorks Cache LUN XP User
Guide for the XP10000/XP12000.
• LUN Security. LUN Security operations do not affect Continuous Access XP operations. Volumes under
secure ports and/or assigned to host groups and LUN groups can also be assigned to Continuous
Access XP pairs. Volumes assigned to Continuous Access XP pairs can also be assigned to secure
ports, host groups, and LUN groups for Secure Manager XP.
NOTE: Continuous Access XP S-VOLs cannot be accessed by any UNIX/PC server host unless the
pair is split.
NOTE: For more information about LUN Manager, see the HP StorageWorks LUN Configuration
and Security Manager XP User Guide for the XP10000/XP12000.
• BC. BC volumes can be assigned to Continuous Access XP pairs, and Continuous Access XP volumes
can be assigned to BC pairs. See ”Combining Continuous Access XP and BC” on page 40 for more
information.
