Protecting

Logical Volumes Against Storage System Copy

Operations

(Setting the S -VOL Disable Function)

Assigning

the

Read O nly or Protect attribute is one of the ways to prevent data in a volume from being

overwritt

by storage system copy software . Volumes having the Read Only or Protect attribute are

protecte

against these copy operations, but are also protected against any other form of write operations.

To protect a volume only against storage system copy operations, you must ensure

that the volume has the Read/Write attribute and then follow the procedure in

“Preventing a Read/Write Volum e from Becoming a Secondary Volume” on page 22 to assign the S-VOL

Disable attribute to the volume. This procedure enables you to prohibit a volume from being speciﬁed as

secondary volume (that is, a copy destination volume) for storage system copy operations.

To allow the volume to be speciﬁed as a secondary volume (that is, a copy destination volume) ,

you must

ensure that the volume has the Read/Write attribute and then follow the procedure in

“Specifying a Read/Write Volume as a Secondary Vo lu m e ” on page 23.
