Creating Snapshot XP pairs

Use the RAID M anager XP paircreate command to create Snapshot XP pairs. To create Snapshot XP

pairs, the following are required:

• Specify a volume that meets the requirem ents in Table 2 as a P-VOL

• Specify a volume that meets the requirem ents in Table 3 as an S-VOL

• Specify the same size volumes as a P-VOL and S-VOL

• Specify the same pool for pairs that share a P-VOL when you use a volume that is a lready used as

another pair's P-VOL for the new pair's P-VOL

For more information about the paircreate command, see the HP StorageWorks RAI D Mana ger XP

user guide.

Storing snapshot data

Use the RAID Manager XP pairsplit command to store snapshot data in the pool. You can store a

maximum of 64 snapshot d ata per P-VOL. To store snapshot data, the pair status must be PAIR.

NOTE:

When a P-VOL is paired with two or more volumes, ensure that none of the pairs are in COPY(RS-R)

status.

You can use the pairsplit command to store one snapshot data at a time, but you cannot specify the

snapshot data ID. For more information about the pa irsplit com m and, see the HP StorageWorks RAID

ManagerXPuserguide.

NOTE:

Snapshot XP does not support Quick Split mode. If you specify Quick Split mode, snapshot data is not

be stored in the pool even if the command ends normally.
